Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 9m 18d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 28/11/11 05:36 AM Share Posted 28/11/11 05:36 AM Sorry if this has been asked before.. But I'm chasing a Tablet for work.. Needs to have ability to use Microsoft Office or at least edit Microsoft Office Excel files, open PDF's, Access emails etc.. I'm aware that the Ipad can do all this.. Just unsure if anyone uses any of the gazillion other tablets on the market and how they compare?.. Most people I know use Ipads.. But I have an Iphone already and the Ipad seems like a bigger version of that..I just figure a tablet will make some of the stuff I have to do for work a fair bit easier and I'm not keen of lugging around a laptop when you're walking up and down the roadside for hours on end..So what do you fellas/ladies have? And what do you use it for? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77943-tablets-chasing-one-for-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that.. This may be a dumb question.. It has US prices listed and I am assuming Aussies ones would be almost double (Seems the case usually even though the exchange rate has backflipped). Would importing one from the US be possible or is there something with computers that stops you doing this?Cheers, Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77943-tablets-chasing-one-for-work/#findComment-1163858 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to compete with the iPad after all...I had a quick look at the sony Tablet S the other day and really like the way it's shaped, makes it easy to hold.

Guest newl Guests Posted 29/11/11 12:14 AM Share Posted 29/11/11 12:14 AM I reckon that soon will be the time for me to upgrade to the Prime and give my TF101 to my other half to use at work.
