Hello
I am thinking about purchasing a tablet for uni and have a few questions (some of which are probably quite basic )
Basically, I would like to have something simple enough to access wifi internet and do the basic internet things, e.g. checking email, uni blackboard site, and downloading/viewing things like online lectures/notes like word documents and pdfs.
I would also like something cheap So I'm not looking to splurge on an ipad or something that's the cost of a laptop. I already have a laptop but I want something light and portable for uni.
Would the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8" WiFi Tablet be suitable for this? (detail from officeworks: http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-8-wifi-tablet-white-sysg38ww16)
So it says that it "equips you with everything you need to "do the everyday" - from accessing and updating your calendars, browsing the web, keeping in touch via email and social media or playing games. The value added apps bonus allows you to explore Samsung Apps and entertain yourself or the whole family with movies, music, TV & educational content" so I guess basic internet use is covered, but I am not too sure about things like office documents? Can it open things like microsoft word/pdfs? Or would I need to purchase a microsoft office?
Or could any of you suggest a different option?
Thank you
