I still refuse to buy a tablet. Especially now with phones coming out with such big screens. The bridge between them and a Netbook seems pointless to me. As much as the big screen while playing Tapped out looks nice, I'm kind of bothered that it has the same exact zoom out as the phone. It's bigger, but you can't really get much done any quicker. It might actually be slower since you are sliding across a larger surface.

/tablet rant

Anyway, two things catching my eye lately have been cameras with long-exposure ability and 3D printers. Only problem with the printer is that the materials are pricey.

i agree. ive come pretty close to buying a tablet, mostely driven by TSTO. lol. but i just cant justify it. anything i can do on one, i can do on my phone or laptop.

anyway, id invest a really nice laptop and run tsto on bluestacks. this hp netbook has had it :?

if i had a little left over id buy the gadgets needed to stream video wirelessly to my 46" samsung.

If I had a $1000 I would spend it on a week in Bali. Don't get me wrong I'm def a gadget girl but it's winter and I'm cold and thought of lying in the sun next to a pool in Bali is just too tempting.

Edit: I would take my iPad with me of course!!

You could live like a king for $1,000 too!

I know - good food, long cold drinks, shopping to break the monotony *sigh*

I love my tablet, I have a Sony tablet S. I can't imagine playing games on a small phone screen. LOL. I don't have a a smartphone, its a pay as you go, so my tablet allows me to play all the games, use it as an ereader etc. without having to pay for a plan.

On topic, I'd probably buy myself a smartphone. LOL. I really like the Blackberry Z10.

Z10 is a piece of p00p get the lg optimus g pro or a s4 if you wanna stay sony get xperia z don't waste money on blackberry its p00 p00

An iPad. My girlfriend hates that I am so addicted to this game and I kept hearing how good it is to play on an iPad, so I took the liberty of installing it on hers and played for an hour or so. It was heaven.

Gasp! I swear you said you liked playing on phone and was resisting playing on sexy iPad when I was whining on another thread.

Traitor! Lol

I too would blow it on the sexy iPad I have been lusting over for years.

I would buy another iPad, you can never have too many. To anyone considering a tablet, if you don't want to spend 600-1000$, get a Kindle Fire HD. I love my iPad but as far as just browsing, reading, gaming, and what not goes, the Kindle Fire is just as good for 1/3rd the price of the cheapest iPad. iPad is much, much better for school/business, but for the casual user, the KFHD is great.

Also, like Jay and others said, if you've only played this game on a phone, it is a whole other world on a tablet. The size and detail are just amazing. I personally love it because the grid is so much clearer and larger, you can really see every white line and box perfectly.

Edit: forgot to mention, if you own a pc/Mac, and have never playe on a tablet, download Bluestacks. It allows you to play tapped out on your laptop/desktop, and looks even better than a tablet. I highly recommend it, only down side is no finger tapping obviously, takes a little getting used to with a mouse.

I have a Macbook, have had it for about 5 years and the trackpad is starting to give in. Plus the Mac itself is incredibly slow now. Have the latest version of Mountain Lion and have reformatted it recently, which didn't help at all.

Maybe time to invest in a new one. But TBH I don't really use it that often (I use my iPhone 5 for EVERYTHING), and I just don't have the cash to drop on it. Donuts, on the other hand...

+1. I have a MacBook Pro I bought for work, and I never use it. It's awesome, super fast, I love it, but with an iPhone, iPad, and KFHD, I never use the damn thing. Basically use my iPad/iPhone for everything, just like you said. So if you're gonna invest the money, I'd get an iPad, nothing you can't do on there and a few hundred cheaper :)

I can't reply to this thread.
