feedback on laptop tablet options

[mwburne]

Currently have a 7 yr old desktop and connect to work desktop remotely.
Appreciate feedback on laptop or tablet options for working from home and also doing fun stuff, like watching movies etc, when not working. Thank you for any helpful feedback.

This is a laptop and a tablet all in one.

If you are looking for a laptop though I recommend a Sony Vaio, I love mine, it's light weight, thin, decent battery life, great screen resolution and Windows or Ubuntu runs amazing on there.

If you give us a price range it would help us better serve you.

Awesome article depicting the fight/choice of tablet vs netbook:

I personally if you wanna go cheap and fun check out the new Kindle Fire ($200)

or if you wanna stick with a laptop and not do a mini or netbook...definitely check out the Macbook Air, it's just beautiful and you can take it anywhere like a tablet (weight and size).

Hope that helps.

You can check out the Gigabyte booktop range. They are tablet netbooks and I use one for work as an it technician at schools. Can remote desktop into work desktop, Can carry around as a tablet and type up word files etc (Given it is heaver than caryying around a dedicated tablet but more function as a pc) and can watch all movies etc.
