Apologies for cross-posting, but couldn't find this on previous forums.
My very old Samsung Tablet is too slow, has no available memory, so needs to be replaced. I use it for a few basic card games, reading, and watching things like ABC in bed. Likewise, my ancient all-in-one HP pavilion 23 touchscreen needs replacing. It's used for Office software, teams, etc., emails, and googling. I have a work laptop.
As you can see, my IT needs are very modest.
I'd like to replace both the desktop and tablet with one machine that has the functions of both. I like the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 WiFi 256GB with a pen but would I be able to use it like a laptop or desktop to connect to monitors, etc. for Office functions? Some of my work colleagues have Surfaces for work but they say they are unreliable and overpriced (the Surfaces, not the colleagues, although it is arguable).
Size would be 10 -12" screen, budget around 1500, plus keyboard if needed, for the computer. Monitor and port (found out this is a 'docking station') in addition to that.
I'm an Android user, and my budget would probably preclude any Apple products in any case.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
I am working, so will only be checking this forum from time to time, so apologies in advance for any delays in responding.
Was a Dell Latitude 7390 2 in 1 with 13" screen the other day on here but a refurb for like $500. I am sure plenty of 2 in 1s for under $1500. Lenovo Yoga book is one.
