i don't know man, after looking up apps for android, i think a tablet would be better than a laptop. smaller, easier to carry, long battery life so doesn't always hav eto be plugged in. could probably save money on electricity by using one.

quicker startup than a laptop

Have apps (really just programs) that probably run faster and do everything you need on a laptop.. you can even buy Bluetooth keyboards for less than $30. the ONLY probelm is smaller screen and the price of the tablet
