Hi, all. I'm delving into new waters here. I've read lots of the reviews about different products and would like to hear from people who've actually used them.
I'm thinking of getting either a tablet/handheld PC or a notebook. Mainly for web research and email (no movies, MP3s, etc.). I'll want to use this in WiFi hotspots. (Limited internet connectivity where I live.)
So, does anyone have any recommendations for a quality, affordable (about $1,000) portable product for WiFi internet connectivity? I'll probably load it with email, word processing and spreadsheet software for some other work, so I'd like something with a little zip to it too.
What worked well? What didn't work? Does WiFi give you a good solid connection to the net? Anything in particular I should watch out for?
Thanks for your help.
