I had been thinking of going for a tablet but when I said it would be mostly for writing most if not all replies advised against it. Tablets are more for your media stuff --- watching tv, reading books, maybe some games --- apparently but not for any serious "office work". I'd go for a laptop or maybe a netbook? Asus ones are supposed to be good, of course Sony VAIO is the best if you can afford it, but as FD says Lenovo are making their mark. I wouldn't go for a Dell or anything though. Make sure it has some decent memory (4 gb or more) as otherwise you'll be waiting forever for it to boot up. Also unless you like Win 8 I'd try to get one with Win 7 installed.
