Then I would say go with a tablet that is more portable and easily can travel with you. We only take our tablets now when we travel in the RV. We can do everything we need to do on the tablets. Plus there is no worry about it over heating or getting hot like a laptop they don't have those problems. For the price you are wanting to spend it will probably be in the 7" range, you can find a 10" on sale sometimes. If you want to go with straight Android not a branded one like Amazon then I would look at the Asus Transformer or one of the smaller Asus tablets. The Amazon Fire is good but it is a branded version of Android so it is more limited than a regular Android, The books would be of course for the Kindle and from Amazon. But you can add the kindle reader to any Android tablet. Plus with regular Android you can add other reader programs and read any format of book not just kindle books. I would not get anything below Android 4.1 as far as the operating system goes. You can find several of the unknown brands around for much cheaper, some are fine some use cheaper products in them. Another alternative altogether is a tablet that runs windows. For example this one by HP which is on for $299 today at Woot. It is a factory reconditioned which does not bother me, I have bought several tablets that were factory reconditioned with no problems. And it does come with a 1yr factory warranty. HP ElitePad 900 10.1" Tablet, Intel Atom Z2760 1.8GHz, 128GB SSD, 2GB RAM, 802.11n, Bluetooth, Win8Pro 32-bit Asus Tablets at this link you can see various of the Asus tablets from 7" to 10" brand new and refurbished. Products ******Now this right here is a really really good deal on this 10" LG G Pad which is a quad core running the latest version of Android. Plus there is a code there for $20 off. This might be the deal of the day.And it is from newegg a very good place to do business. It is brand new, it has some very unique features and it also has IPS display excellent! It is a very good entry level first tablet, not as powerful and full bodied as some of the others but those others will be in the $400-500 or more range. For $229 this is a nice first tablet. LG G Pad 10.1 Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GB Memory 16GB eMMC 10.1" Touchscreen Tablet Android 4.4 (KitKat) LG G Pad In that same size/price category is the Acer Iconia with some decent specs for an entry level also. Acer Iconia 10.1" Tablet 32GB Quad Core samsung is also a good brand in tablets(maybe out of the price range). Google nexus is good The main things you need to look for in the specs is the resolution it should be at least 1280 x 600 or so higher is better. The version of Android it is running 4.1 or higher. The Ram memory and storage space plus the ability to add an additional sd card. 1-2 GB of RAM or higher. Usually 16 GB is the internal storage and most take up to a 32GB sd card. just let me know if I can help with anything. That LG is a sweet deal. I would go for ASUS, Samsung, Google, or the LG or Acer Iconia all very decent brands and offer nice options.

They have definitely been known to start fires. The batteries on some brands have had fire problems in the past. I have a really nice little lap table I got a bed bath and beyond. There are foldable legs so it can sit on either side of you. The center part lifts to different angles to hold the laptop at different angles. It has a mouse pad area. It also has an adjustable light on it. It is exactly like the one in the link below. There's storage space under the mouse pad. Here is a link that might be useful: Table

" The anti-virus company bearing his name was acquired by Intel for $7.68 billion in 2010, but McAfee has not been affiliated with it for more than 20 years. He says he has been forced to work on multiple film and book projects to make a living." I have no problem using McAffee. It comes with my internet provider and has saved my computer many times. I also don't care what he may or may not have done in his life, as there has not been any proof. I watched a story about the murder quite some time ago. I refuse to use a "free" online anti virus (yes, mine is technically free, but the cost is in my monthly bill payment to my internet provider). And will never buy Norton after we spent about $100 on it, then a week later got a virus so bad, my son couldn't get his computer to turn on and Norton refused to help. I love the fact that computer companies can remotely help you with your computer. You just sit back and watch the mouse do this and that and next thing you know, voila! Your computer is in perfect running condition. I think it comes in especially handy for people who are not computer savvy. Our head office often uses it on my computer at work. I will explain everything I've done and they still insist on me connecting them, so they can do what I did and it doesn't work for them either..... snicker..

zep Strange! I turned off and then tried to restart the PC and as I suspected it did the same boot to Lenovo screen and stop again. First a little about the connections. I have the Logitech USB and the Microsoft mouse and keyboard USB plugged into the two USB ports on the front of my PC. I shut down the PC and pulled the Logitech USB out of the front and plugged it into a rear port and tried a restart. No luck. I then pulled the Microsoft USB out and the computer booted to the desktop! I had to plug the Microsoft USB into the other port on the back of the computer and as of now, I haven't tried to restart the PC. I am going to wait until later to see if the PC will boot normally now that I've swapped everything around? (I have things I need to do and am tired of messing around with it) None of this happened until today when I tried to power on? I just don't get it? If I still get the problem, it can only be the mouse or maybe a problem with one of the front ports? Both devices (mouse and headphones) work once the PC is running! Well the headphones work fine but the mouse is getting to be a PITA! The cursor is almost uncontrollable and it is FRUSTRATING! The OS is Windows Ten
