Thanks for the info guys. I talked to the it guy at work to get his opinion as well. I have always used windows and some MAC but prefer the windows working environment I like to think, customise and not let the computer limit me or tell me how I have to do it (frustrating). I also want to be able to use office apps. My main use will be class rolls, marks (spreadsheets) presentations via a data projector, course outlines, diary, appointments/meeting notes, budy rosters, surfing the net etc so also important for it to be mobile as I travel from class to class. I think but am not sure a tablet is the way to go. Next step is to start going to the shops and having a play with some tablets but im thinking Android. Any other thoughts welcomed

Thanks again for the input

Cheers Dave
