I don't know if this is the right section for posting about tablets but whatever 😛 I'm a student who has been coping with a rather severe health problem for the last few years, and this thing isn't getting any better. It got to a point where I have to do most of my work and studies laying in bed, which is very bad with all the notes, books, calculator, pencils, etc... I guess you get the picture. I used to work from my desk with my desktop pc and everything I needed but it isn't possible anymore.
Yesterday I decided that I was tired of burying myself under a ton of reference books and having to walk back and forth to the computer every time I needed to check something on the internet, so tablet it's gonna be.
The problem is that I do not know anything about these things. First would be the size. I'm going to use this tablet for every thing, probably many hours a day. I listen to music, I'm a netflix addict, I play video games (a lot), I use Skype, I type homeworks, read eBooks and of course I also need to be able to open various text files and charts to be able to work with them. Is a 7'' tablet like the Nexus 7 too small for this kind of use ?
Second would be the OS. Android, iOS... it doesn't mean anything to me, I have no idea what they offer over the other.
In the end, what matters most here is that price is absolutely not a factor. Of course if a 200$ Nexus 7 is enough for me I won't throw money out the window for no reason, but if I really need that rather expensive iPad 3 I have no problem with that. What are your opinions about this guys ?
