[LUG] New tablet computer

[Neil Winchurst <barnaby@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hope this is not too off topic. My wife's laptop is on the way out so 
I have been looking around for a replacement. I expected her to be happy 
with a 'normal' sized machine (15.6" or even 17" with Linux installed by 
me) but, over Christmas, we have visited both our son and his family and 
the wife's sister.

Now they all do a lot of computing using a tablet. They do not use 
either a 'normal' laptop or a desktop. So my wife is now considering a 
tablet instead of a laptop. And the one she likes the look of so far is 
an Ipad!!! (I blame her sister.) Well, I would not be able to help her 
much with one of those. Alternative is a Samsung, it seems.

So if anyone on the list could give me some suggestions I would be very 
grateful. My wife uses her computer just for emails and browsing, 
including FB. She would also like to have a camera included in the spec. 
No gaming required.

Help needed, please

Neil
