Laptop or tablet?

[blurr1g]

Hey there. I'm looking to buy my mom a new laptop, tablet (or anything else) since her current laptop (5 years old) broke and was very slow. Wasn't really sure what to buy as she mainly only uses it for checking email, browsing websites, skype, storing pictures, and sometimes for music. I'd like to keep it under $400-500 if that's possible. Preferably something that is fast and lightweight. Bestbuy/Amazon/Newegg/Microcenter mainly if possible.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

I think you should go with tablet because laptop work is more usable for students or business worker and with tablet she can use it without any worry of charging option. In short light weight device is better to frequent use and tablets are more reliable.

Yeah I definitely think you're right, do you know by any chance the best tablet I could get for under $400?
