Three Low Price Notebook Computers for the Cost of One Tablet
Tablet computers were originally marketed as a low cost alternative to a PC, but that notion seems laughable now because when all the necessary accessories are added in they easily top $800. There are many low price notebook computers today which can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of a tablet.
For the $1000 you could spend on a fully outfitted tablet, you could actually purchase three cheap notebooks which start as low as $278. For that price, you can get a 15.6 inch refurbished notebook with a slow Celeron 900 processor and only 2GB or RAM. While this is enough to handle some tasks, it should work fine for things like basic word processing and Web browsing. The 250 GB SATA hard drive also helps to speed up this PC which comes with WiFi and multiple USB ports.
Furthermore, laptops are often more suited to gaming, especially long video games, because tablets can be difficult to hold and play on for extended periods of time.
