You would be better off getting a cheap netbook that runs Windows, for your situation.

A tablet running Android, is a mobile device. It will not be able to run everything your Windows PC will run.

Sounds like you should get a laptop even if that means a netbook.

I agree an android or ipad won't really work for this. Neither have IE, Full Java Machine capability (They do run javascript), and the current version of the coupon printer does not support the operating systems.

What type of tablet computer were you talking about. That term is sometimes hard to define for stuff like this.

Well Jelly Bean does, Adobe doesn't. They had it available in the market for a few days when the JB was announced. Adobe announced they don't plan on keeping it current basically ending it on mobile platforms.

Tablets are for watching porn in different postures. Get yourself a laptop!

Thanks, that's what I thought. Rats!

Yeah, it looks like a tablet is out. But, I'm was looking at something the Asus Transformer TF300 (possibly the detachable keyboard docking station for heavy typing jobs), Acer Aconia A200. I want to be around $300 net and can do this through BestBuy with discounts, etc.

The tablet just sounds sexy, lightweight, portable, and convenient. My 4-yr old Toshiba laptop is a 6 lb, 1hr battery life, on power cord lifesupport. She's hot, but in a totally different way. I like to have the laptop on my lap and the fan and battery run hot and are frying my thighs.

Thank you all for your input. It looks like the Tablet is out. Laptop is in.

Laptops have changed a good amount in 6 years. Most of those problems could be fixed by a newer model.

My Android tablet won't run the coupon printer if thats what you mean. Also on Facebook, the freebies don't work since you need to run the Facebook apps. For everything else you need a tablet would be great.
Look at the netbook posted in HD, It's 250 and should do all you need.

Yes, I was wondering whether an Android tablet would run the coupon printer. It looks like it will not. I didn't think about the FB app thing.

Thanks for your suggestion about the netbook. I followed your link to the Acer, I also saw a similar one at my local BestBuy store. I think I'll go back and check it out further.
