Question

Advice for buying a new device.

Mar 23, 2014 7:37AM PDT

I have a PC and a network. I would like something I can take to the living room and surf the web or play computer games. Would like an inexpensive device. There are so many that I am TOTALLY confused. Can anybody help a little old broad??

Which games? The ones on your PC?

For that you move the pc or laptop to the room you need it. There are many tablets out but gaming is far different than say a PC or Xbox.

For now you'll have to keep looking.

There are a few tablets that have PC gaming potential but for the cost you may as well get a laptop. Tablets are for the most part very different and may not run for example Minecraft to your satisfaction.
