Guys can you recommend a tablet that's not expensive but can handle the rigours of typing and research.....using MS word and the likes...which I won't have to "point and kill" to type with.... probably with a keyboard. Thanks

inputs needed not just views.....aaarrrrgh!

who dey there?

Buy a lenovo S5000 7" ultra light weight ultra slim tablet.

After some month usage of samsung tab 7 4.0 which is a very unimpressive tablet which I bought with equivalent to NGN56,000 during its early release, I made a switch to lenovo S5000 which I bought from konga.com for NGN39,000 i can authoritatively say the lenovo S5000 in a 1000 and 1 ways better than the samsung tab 7 4.0.

would you recommend it as a substitute for a laptop?

yes I have seen the features but I need to know if it can give me what I need for research involving acute use of office packages and the ease of typing with it.



Thanks for the contributions.

You can't substitute a tab for a PC or notebook. A notebook/pc does way much more than a tablet does. Its more opened to vast variety of application and usage. But tablet is limited compared to a pc.

It has Kingsoft office full version preinstalled in it which is enough for you to view and type PDF, XLS, excel, word etc. The virtual keyboard is QWERTY and its okay to use.
