I have a 10" iPad. I do everything on it, surfing, banking, emails, YouTube, etc. Although I appreciate that some people need to do a lot more than me, I reckon it's all the average user needs.
Bit of an arse to type with though.  My gayPad never comes out. More money well spent ;D

I can type fast enough to keep up with most of the old codgers on here.

For anything more than half a sentence, I find it easier and faster to boot up my 12yr old laptop from cold, and type properly.

I've been useing Deepin Linux for a few years now. It's a carbon copy essentially of Windows 7. Couldn't be more impressed. Based on Debian, not ubuntu.

Could I point out that most modern linux distro's have a live mode. You boot from DVD or USB into linux without installing. You can play and test it out before you hit the install option. Please be aware the 'live' version will be a lot slower than a properly installed version.

Live images definitely have their place.  I've spent all day trying to get one to load on a machine in the arse end of nowhere ;D

Although in reality, you can then only play with the apps that are included in the Live image, which then means you don't get to play with the really good stuff...

...if you wanna try Linux, and have a spare hard drive, then popping that in for a week or 2, and having a proper test :)

I am using Debian to try to recover my files after PC failure. (See my PC failure post)
