What ever you get as far as a tablet, I stay far away from iPads. They are over priced and the wifi range absolutely sucks ass. Added to this the wifi doesn't play well with all bands. Example, when I tether it to my nexus phone via wireless, it constantly drops out and pages stop responding even if I'm sitting g with the phone next to me. Meanwhile if I tether my laptop to the same phone, it never drops out and generally has no issues.

You can test this for yourself to see what I'm saying is true. Go to a mall or somewhere that sells both apple iPads and either windows or android tablets. Check the wifi signal on the Apple iPads then check and see how many more wifi locations show up on the windows and androids. I've tested this many times on both ipad minis like I have and full side iPads. The iPads always have shit range and the windows & android always have way more hot spots.

Out side of the wifi issues the iPads are pretty nice. I like the screen size and the battery life is great, but if you will be using wifi often, do yourself a favor and stay far away from iPads. I can't comment if the laptops have the same issue.
