Looking to buy a Tablet?
nstgc:
Totoya-kun, I think Jobs has brainwashed you. Sometimes things can be good and cheap...but it can't also be Apple.
As for the iPad 2, I've used iPad 1 and 2, as well as an acer Iconia. Iconia is cheaper, nicer looking, and more functional. Its heavier, but the newer Droid tablets are actually lighter then the iPad 2. Who would guess when there is competition, products will be better. Apple doesn't need to content with the competition because people by their crap because they buy Apple for whatever reason other than its a good buy (although OS X is better than Windows, their computers are over priced and you can instal Linux on a PC.

Firstly how is OS X better then windows and what's is good about Linux?
What are the good things about the iPad 2?
The other tablet that matches up to it is the samsung tab 10.1 in reviews, what do you have to say for that and in terms of tab what is the best software and why?
Thanks.

You mean iOS?
Some tablets support windows 7
Some are android
iPad only uses iOS IIRC.

It's also $500-$600. The price of a lower high-end computer... with 6-cores, the latest graphics card, and 6 GBs of memory.
Go with something cheaper and actually supports flash (why Apple and Steve Jobs ever thought Flash was trash is on fucking dope).

You can't get a computer with that setup for 500-600, I have that and it was 3000 +

I would beg to differ:
CPU
6 GBs of Memory
PSU
ATI 6850 Videocard
Motherboard
1 TB harddrive
Computer Case
DVD Drive
Grand total? $580 with shipping included. :P
So either you paid too much, or your system is not "lower" high-end like I mentioned. Don't buy a tablet, buy a PC.
halfelite:
a tablet is a tablet if you are going to be using it for taking notes and light use go with the cheapest option out there. They all browse the web, they all take notes and they all have apps. Its just down to nit picking which one you like best be it has lots of apps like the ipad, open like an android, or just plain cheap like the touchpad.
But if you are really looking to drop a chunk of change upwards of 500$ Go with one of the higher end ultra portable laptops or drop some more money and go with a series 9 samsung
