[TriLUG] Tablet Recommendations

[John Vaughters via TriLUG]

I am a Linux Nut Case and I even bought the Motorola Xoom, which was the first Android Tablet that Google developed Android for a tablet, because I refused to purchase an iPad that you could not even develop software for your own purposes. I am still waiting for the Ubuntu tablet to mature and it has a long way to go. But that will be my next tablet purchase. So it is within this history that I tell you that an outstanding tablet in my mind is the Windows Surface. It has a great user experience and is very versatile. It follows the Windows mantra of optimized productivity. If money is not the issue, and the user is not a computer geek like me, I would steer them to the Windows Surface. However, if they are App junkies and not looking for productivity, definitely go the Android route. I am personally a Samsung fan, so just look at the latest offerings. If cost is the driver, many people I know really like the Amazon option. I do not. Too much of a sales tool for me. I prefer regular android interface. I would steer way clear of the Ubuntu offering. Expect big problems for non-sys admin users.

 My parents are wanting to get a new tablet to replace a Verizon Freebie
that needs to be perpetually rebooted.  I am also considering getting one
for my wife who has been using an ipad mini with a cracked screen that is
starting to fail.

They're leaning towards a android based one, as opposed to Apple or
Windows but are perplexed by all the variations in the models.

Does anyone have experience with one that they would recommend and would
you share what you like and don't like about it?
