Q. Dont want to carry laptop to college, thinking a tablet with a keyboard attachment will br small enough to carry 24/7. What yablet would be best for using a word document? I know it wont take the place of a laptop all the time, just want something little to carry.
A. ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700T. Great tablet if you don't mind the Android operating system. It has some nice word documents you can buy for it and it also has a keyboard doc that you can buy. I have a friend that owns the tablet and the keyboard and he loves it. Works just like a netbook/laptop. I would highly recommend you consider getting a small 10-11 inch laptop, though. They weigh about the same as a tablet with a keyboard and you get a better experience and can do more with it. Tablets are basically just luxuries, when laptops can do more for about the same price or even less.
But, if you are determined to get a tablet, the ASUS infinity is the way to go. The keyboard you can buy for it is quite amazing, as it adds more battery, USB ports, an SD slot, and has a nice trackpad. The tablet itself packs in a powerful quad core 1.6 GHz processor, which is about as fast as a lot of lower end laptops out there today. The screen resolution, although not as nice as the new ipad, still packs in a 224 ppi high definition display screen. It's relatively lightweight and thin, and also has many features most other tablets simply lack, like the micro SD port, HDMI port, USB port (with the doc), and SD port with the dock. If you don't like the Android OS, go with the iPad. Stay away from Windows RT. Just my opinion.
The tablet itself costs 500 bucks, and the keyboard costs 150 bucks. The keyboard is pretty nice like I said. If you want a tablet more for gaming, go with the iPad, but if you are looking for a tablet for work/school, the android OS is the way to go. Another option other than the ASUS infinity is the Nexus 10.

What kind of tablet is better than the Ipad 2? Explain why its better?
Q. I really want something thats just like a computer and has apps. I want major flash and i wanna download stuff and take pictures, but i dont want a netbook i want a tablet. Is there such thing?
A. If you want a full computer, you don't just want iPad or any of the Android tablets. Look into a Windows-based tablet PC. They do exist. And they can do much more than any of the iPad (or similar) tablets can do. Of course, it will be more expensive, heavier, and have a shorter battery life, but you knew that already.
What can it do the pads can't?
- Heavy gaming (up to a point)
- Electronic ink (much higher resolution on the touch screen)
- Flash (though you can do flash on an Android)
- Run all your Windows programs
What can't it do?
- Be as cool (yes, this matters)
- Be as light (this is my main reason for wanting an iPad)
- Have as long a battery life
- Use ITunes app store or Android Market
You just have to decide what side you're looking for. Me? I want one of each. (Now who's going to pay for all that!)

What are the pros and cons to having any of these tablets?
Q. I have to do a project on 21st century electronics and I chose tablets. If any of you own an iPad, Dell Streak or Samsung Galaxy Tablet, can you please tell me what is great about it? What's bad? Do they help you with your job/profession?
A. Edit: Sorry about the long answer!
Ipad:
Pros:
Very thin, beautiful, sleek, and extremely portable design.
Bright, incredibly high resolution and sharp 2048x1536 (264 ppi) display.
System-wide mirroring support.
Excellent performance and solid battery life.
Built-in support for 4G LTE and GPS on the iPad 3rd Gen (Wi-Fi/4G LTE AT&T/GPS) and iPad 3rd Gen (Wi-Fi/4G LTE Verizon/GPS) configurations, as well as 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 (all models).
Dual cameras (front and rear) make video conferencing and 1080p video capture fairly easy.
Entirely usable onscreen keyboard and support for an external keyboard.
High-quality pre-installed applications, including a web browser, e-mail client, and integrated Google Maps, as well as support for thousands of iPad other applications.
Support for new iPhoto application for photo editing as well as iMovie, Garage Band, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and more..
Inexpensive compared to notebook computers.
Sold unlocked and without a contract in the US with multiple wireless carrier options.
Cons:
Glossy display casts a glare in direct light.
The battery is not intended to be replaced and self-replacement is quite difficult.
Storage capacity cannot be upgraded and can be inadequate given increasingly large file sizes to display images and other content optimized for the high-resolution display.
No SD card slot for easy photo transfer.
Shooting photos and video with such a physically large device is awkward.
Support for 4G LTE is limited in many locations and the device does not support 4G LTE frequencies in most countries other than the US.
Commonly runs warm.
No support for Flash.
No bundled headphones (a particularly miserly omission given the US$499+ price of the device).
iWork applications are somewhat hobbled by document translation issues, file transfer complexity, and officially limited printer support.
Expensive compared to some netbooks and e-readers as well as the iPod touch.
Samsung Galaxy Tab:
Pros:
A Proper Android OS
IR Blaster
MicroSD Slot
Cons:
Middling Specs
Bloatware Galore
