I have a Samsung tablet-thing. It has a touch screen, and I use it to read and respond to e-mails, watch YouTube videos, and surf the internet while I'm watching TV. That's it. I set it on a pillow on my lap and use it for three or four hours every evening.
I want to do pretty much the same thing with a replacement device, but I want a REAL keyboard. My Samsung thing has a virtual keyboard that misinterprets my poking often enough to drive me crazy.
What should I get? It seems to me that it would be something between a small laptop computer and another I-pad thing. I think it should have a touch screen, because those little pads are a pain in the ass to use. Screen size isn't important. I guess the screen size would be more or less dictated by the fact of the keyboard.
I don't need a ton of memory, because I don't store pictures or videos.
I think I should be able to get something for around $500 or less, eh?
[The battery on the Samsung is dying. It craps out while I'm using it, even if it's plugged in].
What can I get that will meet my needs?
