So you'll shop for either a laptop or the full Window 7/8/8.1 tablets. This rules out Android so price out items like the new Asus t100. Your note on price removed the Apple's as well.

Hi,
My needs are super simple. I want a tablet I can stream Netflix on, stream online TV shows and movies, check my email/Facebook, use apps such as Stumble Upon/imgfave/9gag.
I don't need to draw, edit anything or anything else fancy. Super simple needs really! What's the best tablet for best value out there?
I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Thank you!!!
