I had an iPad mini, but dumped it to get a laptop and a "phablet". Ended up with a Galaxy Note 3 to do all the things, and it does all the things well. Phones with 6" screens don't suck for daily use.

I grabbed a black friday deal at office depot, tell me how bad, or good I did,,,,

Dell inspirion, 13 inch touch screen, 8 gig memory, 500 gg harddrive for 550, 2in1 type tablet, laptop.

All online reviews looked very positive, and juniors only request was he would like a touchscreen.

I just wasn't sure on the screen size, for a college student on the go, 13 inch?

Agreed..I have a Nexus 6 that I can do anything on anywhere..Comes in handy alot when your off and about and need the internet.I could never go back to a smaller screen with my old eyes.

I find the laptop more useful, but do have a ipad I use for some things.

For the OP, I would go for the Laptop and then spend $35( on sale now) for a kindle from amazon and see if you see any use in the tablet. The cheap kindle isn't an Ipad, but if you like it you can put a real tablet on the wish list.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
