Looking to buy a tablet...

[imkingran]

Hello OTland Community,

I've been researching hard on tablets preparing to buy my first one.
What I plan to use it for is to study for school: watch videos, take notes, use certain question bank apps.

I'm confused on which tablet I should get. There are pros and cons to different ones but since the Windows store doesn't have the question bank App I plan to study from I think I'll be going with an Ipad. However, I really like the Windows Surface interface and multi-tasking potential. ( I could watch a video and take notes on it at the same time). There are also Android tablets but for some reason I've been focused on Apple or Windows.

What I wanted to ask you guys was:
1. What kind of tablet do you have? (if you have one)
2. What do you use it for mainly?
3. Would you recommend it to a friend?

Thanks for sharing your experience with tablets I hope it will help me come to a decision on my own.

I ended up buying an Ipad Air from Ebay, it was 25% off at 32gb.

The main reason why I chose the Ipad over the surface was because the windows store didn't have the USMLE World question bank app which I plan to use for studying. Also the price of the Surface Pro (which can run the app) was close to $1000.

I really wanted the Surface Pro though, just was out of my budget.
