WHO are the people responding in here.. did this thread get moved into CHD?

Get a laptop... tablets are typically POS when you compare prices.

I can find you one but other CHDers will be able to help you find a better canadian deal... I can find you one but not the best one...


Moved from Starcraft II Subforum ==> Computer Building Discussion.

What is CHD? And thanks for input.

I'm moving out and won't have a computer anymore so i'm finally seriously looking into buying a new one.  This is not going to be a gaming PC and it won't be a desktop computer either.  I don't game anymore, and i'll want something that can double when I go to the University of British Columbia this September.  So the battle is between:

Budget:  Under 1000$ CDN (If you're from aMURRICUHH remember to check Canadian prices lol...or you could just tell me the answers and i'll see if its in the budget)
Preferably under 600$ CDN.

Samsung Galaxy Tablet
Vs.
Blackberry Playbook
Vs.
iPad
Vs.
Laptop

My questions to you are:

1)  Samsung Galaxy Tablet Vs. BBPlaybook Vs. iPad - Which is best and why?  I know that the Galaxy Tablet has an attachable keyboard for easy use, can browse easily on it, can watch videos like movies and tv and netflix on it.  Really don't know anything about the BBPlaybook or the iPad, but i'm pretty skeptical when it comes to iTechnology since i've had mac computers for so long...I know they're not as good as what they should be for what the cost is.

2)  If I have no interest in gaming, just using for internet browsing, video watching, typing documents (microsoft word is a must), which would be better to get:  Laptop Vs. the best chosen item from question one.

Thanks!

If Microsoft Word is a must, then the BB PlayBook, iPad and Galaxy Tab are all out, as none will run Word. Now if you just need word processing capability, then that is another story. But if you absolutely have to have Word, then it's either going to be a Windows tablet or a laptop. Win8 Pro tablets coming soon: http://www.microsoft.com/Surface/en-US/surface-with-windows-8-pro/home

Thank god this thread recovered. You're lucky a mod moved your thread or you would hate yourself. Hahaha. I say an ultrabook. I don't know why not one mentioned it yet. You can get your tablet and laptop in one.

I went to the Samsung store the other day and the guy told me that the Note 2 v10.1 doesn't have Microsoft Word, but has a word type document thing and excel and whatnot and you can save them with extensions that word can understand ie .doc .docx and whatnot
