I reckon that no tablet is as good as a half decent laptop.
If all you want it to play Angry Birds and watch TV then get a Hudl2, anything else and its got to be a laptop...

If you want a tablet, Nexus 9 or Sony preferred

Depends what you use it for.
If your goihg to do any form of photo editing, video editind or spreadsheets. wordprocessing etc then for me a laptop everytime.
If it's just for emails, web surfing, looking at video, pictures, games then maybe an Ipad.

1964, you don't need a PC to make spreadsheets or word processing mate. Not even for photoediting

Surface Pro 3
It's a laptop (if you buy the keyboard case) and a tablet. Rolling these out at work now, they're superb

I bought a load of surfaces for work, mainly for the sales teams to do presentations etc - well impressed.
Me? I have the Asus Taichi which is a laptop and a tablet - dog's NUTS.

I work a lot on screen with docs, sheets, code etc... so a laptop with a proper keyboard and a good screen that isn't covered in fingerprints is essential. But an iPad is better for watching football and answering the phone while cooking a roast or painting a fence. Does that help?

A mate of mine works in the public sector and got himself the best possible Surface with lots of great accessories. I tried it and thought it was excellent and comparable to a reasonable laptop. But when I tried to configure a similar top spec one it was VERY pricey. The price of a very good laptop.
Getting there though - might get one in a couple of years.

If you create content buy a laptop but if you only consume content buy a tablet. Simple.
I'm not a typical computer user and genuinely need the fastest computer possible and couldn't manage without my desktop PC. I've also got a Samsung Tab 10 S tablet. To be honest I can't see what all the fuss is about as it doesn't really do much that my Samsung Note 3 can't do. It's bigger I suppose.
My missus is more typical and has an iPad which she likes but hates doing any kind of work related stuff like writing reports on it. She much prefers her Lenovo Yoga (which is a laptop you can use as a tablet) but never uses it in tablet mode.

A Chromebook is a Laptop running Google's own OS.
Its highly affordable and extremely safe and simple.
Works best with a Google account which offers you Google Docs.
Startup is 2-3 seconds, and you will never look back.

Crapnot i have a chromebook there is so much stuff it can't do, but i couldn't give a monkeys no waiting for those boring windows updates or security issues. As you say open it up and it's there, updates take a nano second and bob's your uncle.

e bay has serious problems you have to use a spoofer so you can switch to firefox, microsoft office but as you say google docs does enough unless you are a pro and need MS. back up for iphone are just a few but i've got round most of them and would recommend a chromebook to anybody

..."and extremely safe"...
Works in "the Cloud" ("Works best with a Google account which offers you Google Docs," you say), so how the FUCK can that be classified as "extremely safe"?
*logs off to scroll through the latest tranche of porn lifted from "the Cloud" and gets fucking irritated that there's also so much of other peoples' BORING personal detail to filter out first.*
