    thanks for taking my call..

    my wife is not working now so honestly im looking at function. im buying my xmas gift for myself in this case lol...i like full keyboard and lots of the "tablets" are keypad which isnt as quick for typing.
    so functional internet access and keyboard thats it.
    i would even take a good old used fixed up working surface ( i like the keyboard)from years ago.

    so budget is open but low maybe $200- 500 i guess is the range ..cant I get a few years old tablet for cheap you might point to? im not running games on it so its literally browse and type like a glorified phone with big keyboard. thank you good sir

    thank you
    yes a keyboard like that is nice.
    225? new?
    that seems like a remarkable price crazy how much this stuff is dropping in price.

    if i were to go used and try to save her a penny its probably not going below 100 anyway for anything worth a hoot ..i might as well get the one you link right?
    cheers

    oh I'd need to do a little digging, but that was the first search result I found for "tablet keyboard" :). It doesn't seem to have the best reviews. I did a little filter searching on Amazon like this. I put in 4 stars and up, your price range, and tablet PC's. lot of results seem to point to the Microsoft Surface for being what will do the trick for you (mostly the first 4 results). take a look!

    https://www.amazon.com/s?k=tablet+pc&i=electronics&rh=n:1232597011,p_72:1248879011,p_36:-50000,p_n_operating_system_browse-bin:3077595011&dc&qid=1605447680&rnid=3077589011&ref=sr_nr_p_n_operating_system_browse-bin_2

    Since when did it become a thing to use ETA instead of EDIT to edit a post? This is popping up on reddit, and I've seen it here too.

    I don't even know what ETA is aside from estimating a time of arrival. It has another meaning? lol.

    It was a hurricane and Greek letter, I hear.

    Also "edited to add".

    Which begs the question, what if you're editing to remove something? Would you then put "ETR"?

    Well damn. As a millennial I reject this new ETA from Reddit and all other internet sources. Lol.

    LOL.

    I went through a pastel phase right out of college but I was preppy before that and classic stuff still is the foundation of my wardrobe.

    I look good in teal and muted oranges.

    What size tablet are you looking for and what's your budget, last year I was looking for the same thing but ended up getting a new laptop because my job gave out apple laptops.

    Amazon fire 10 is great for what you want and I think you can get a keyboard should be on sale throughout christmas for all in about 150.

    Surface is probably your best bet just depends on what you want to spend.

    If all you want is to browse the web you can get that for under 200 easily between now and christmas, will be on the lookout.

    My random question for the day: For MCU movies, is the script for each one written by Marvel writers, in collaboration with the directors...? I'm just curious how they manage to keep the continuity with different directors, etc. Like if one group says Loki died, what stops another director from doing some time machine ****.

    Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, keeps it all going and in line.
