Still thinking about it. Those links you sent me are the basis for our decision.
My wife has a wide on for an iPad. I don't want to pay Apple tax. It is a stalemate.

I got a refurbished iPad last week. Happy with it indeed. new battery and casing, as new, same warranty with it as with a new model. ATR video not working is easily solved by downloading an alternative browser

One of the guys in work was away at a Microsoft conference in Vegas (haha) - and the lucky git won a Microsoft Surface RT tablet.
It is nothing short of brilliant to be honest - by far the best tablet OS I have ever used (and I've used pretty much every tablet available as I am an applications developer).
It will fail miserably however due to Microsoft getting their pricing wrong (too much in comparison with a Nexus 10) and their distribution channels (you can only buy it via the Microsoft website). Total madness considering you can buy Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire in supermarkets and pretty much every high street electronic store. Also suffers from a lack of available applications.
It's a shame, because it really is a great device. The full fat tablet will be out in the New Year (Surface Pro) but once again it will also fail due to pricing - will be around £800 at current estimates.

My ipad is half on the blink and I don't have a laptop at home (I leave work one at work, on it enough). I have to think about same options I've sent to you, and Nexus does look quite good. The macbook though is the one Apple product I think is definitely worth the money. There will be no of nothing unless England beat India though...
