Hi all,
I am currently exploring the option of buying some form of tablet or chromebook for use at university. I'm ok with reading on a screen, and don't like the idea of printing off dozens and dozens of pages of readings when I could just download them. (There are some textbooks available in ebook form as well for much cheaper than the hard copies.) Now, I have never owned or used a tablet or chromebook, and so was hoping you could give me some advice. If possible I would like to spend about $200 CAD (can't afford to go much higher atm.)
I only plan to use it for reading documents and browsing the internet, but since writing is one of my hobbies having a keyboard is a plus. Easy to transport and long battery life is important! (Otherwise it won't be much of an upgrade from my current Dell XPS 15, which although I love it is about 4 years old and quite large compared to the smaller computers most students are using.)
Thanks very much!
Sam.
