There are a lot of good tablets. I have had iPads for several years. Upgraded twice to newer versions. The reason I like iPad is that it "talks" to my iPhone. When I put something on my calendar on either device it automatically goes to the other device and I can send calendar data to my husband's iPad. It is good for keeping our scheduled appointments, meetings, etc. straight. Same with pictures, contacts, notes, etc. Also, the Apple system is not suseptible to viruses like the windows systems are. At leat not yet . . I'm sure somebody will learn to hack the system eventually, but so far, they haven't been able to do it.
