I want a real computer.

OH if you're going for a tablet (if you're still thinking of getting anything) be aware that a) they have usually quite low disc space (I think mine has 32 gig, that's about ten times less than the lowest-spec cheapest laptop) but more importantly are pretty **** if you want to write on them. Unless you pay extra or get one with an external keyboard, you'll be using an onscreen virtual one like you probably have on your phone. These aren't good for writing long rambling diatribes on why one man playing a dustbin lid while farting is the new Bandcamp must-download. What are you using to write your journal articles?

I have a tablet, which I bought more or less to read comics because it's better than a PC for that (and about only that) and I hardly ever even power it up these days. I've used it maybe twice since I bought it about a year and a half ago.
