Best tablet for a web developer – hardware
Hi all,
I am looking to get a tablet and have done a fair amount of research, but would really appreciate the view of the Experts.
My main goal is that I want to show off my work remotely to potential clients. (Please note I have raise a separate question about connectivity and operating system) The majority of my work is developing websites, but also do social media, and would like to develop apps , this is not needed for development of websites but displaying them and my other work.
At the moment I still can’t decide what the best hardware is to use and even still open to which operating system. But I would like to see from Web developers in a similar situation to me as to what you views you have on features and tablet products.

What in your experience are the must have features such as screen size, ports, technology, battery life etc.., that are must have and are there any features you though you needed but actually don’t?
This then leads onto what is the best tablet on the market, obviously quite subjective a question. But again from as developer’s point of view which products have served you well in demonstrating to clients and which ones have underperformed.
Bit of a vague question but advice prior to investment would be very useful.

If you need flash, then ipad2 is not really an option. Otherwise ipad2 , best battery life and best tablet hands down.

Laptops Notebooks
A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

the ability to rotate the screen to show your opposite something is awesome, and it's still a real computer, not "just a tablet" like the iPad and co.
you can get them cheap @ http://outlet.lenovo.com
if you really want to go the tablet route I'd go with the samsung 10.1" galaxy tab or the iPad 2 (I'd prefer the samsung though, because a) it looks the same as the iPad so people probably won't notice the difference and b) it's simply the better tablet, and supports flash and so on .. with the iPad some stuff doesn't work as well in my experience.
anyway, just my 2 cents
