    Hi,

    Laptop is broken and am using phone for all internet, which is ok as i have a Samsung galaxy but i really need a laptop/tablet. Preferably a tablet as i travel for work.

    I wouldst be doing much office work on it, the odd word doc or something like that. So id mostly be web browsing, listing to music, watching tv programs and films, Facebook etc. Also love my apps so probably would be best going for an android.

    Anyway im not looking to spend alot, would defo not want to go over 180. But if i could get a decent one for 150 or leas that would be great.

    So iv done a bit of looking around and here are some i found online:

    +Archos arnova 7" gen.3 tablet (2nd hand) €90

    +Sony prs-t1 €80(2nd hand)

    +Scroll pocket 4" tab (new) on sale for €56, down from €79

    +Scroll pocket 7" tab,model 55109 (new) on sale for €69

    +acer iconia 7" tab (new).€139

    +gemini joytab duo 7" (new) €99

    +Samsung galaxy 2 (new).€189


    So does anyone know if any of these are good,i know the Samsung will prob be best but what about the cheaper ones?
    And apart from what i mentioned above regarding what im looking for it for in terms of my usage, im also really looking for something that's not slow or prone to freezing!

    Also have a quick (prob silly) question- can you only connect to internet on tablets using wifi? The only internet connection i have is a meteor prepay usb port connector. Will i be able to ur this as my internet provider with a tablet?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions, info or advice!
