So my birthday was yesterday. Know what I got? Absolutely nothing. My mom said it was because I never told her what I wanted. (I did tell her about two months ago that I wanted this kickass light saber replica, but whatever, beside the point).

I haven't thought of anything else I've really wanted 'till now. I'd really like to have a tablet, but I hear they're rather expensive. I don't know a whole lot about tablets, so I don't wanna get pulled or anything. So any ideas on what's a good one for a pretty reasonable price?

I have a Gateway Tablet PC. The writing with a pen thing is a rip-off.
It sucks and there are only a few programs that allow you to actually use it.  

Don't get a dell, i have a dell, they're cheap, but they suck.

A tablet? What kind?

EDIT: As in would you like one with a keyboard and is convertable, or just a slate tablet?

Oooh, okay. Yeah, didn't know what you meant at first. I would imagine a slate tablet would be cheaper, so let's go with that.

Just out of curisosity, though, what's a convertible tablet?

Convertible is like the ones below, where you can twist and flip the screen to use it like a slate tablet, or put it back and use it like a laptop with the keyboard.

The one on the left is a Lenovo, which I'd recommend highly. They have some pretty good laptops. I'll look into some good slate ones.

So like a drawing tablet? Get Wacom Bamboo. They are quite expensive though, the one I got (which is like 5x7 inches) has a regular price of about 100 bucks. I got it on sale for 60, but you might have to hunt long for that price.

:D
