Windows tablets are very competitively priced- entry level <$100, decent performers for $150-$200. I paid CAD$150 for mine including case & keyboard. YMMV.
If you’re male you can carry the one...
I am getting old. I could carry it for a while. But then not again for another day or so.
I have never bought any Apple products in the pre-sodomite era or in the present sodomite era. I might buy in the post-sodomite era if Apple ever has one. Meanwhile all the Apple loonies are preparing to move to the new Louis Farrakhan inspired mothership headquarters
Sodomites buy Apple products
Well that’s simply not true. And it is a horrible thing to suggest.
Microsoft is super anxious to make Windows 10 as pervasive as possible. You make a guess, but MS can’t be changing more than $5-10 to install Windows 10 on some of those $69 tablets. Competition from Apple, Android OS, Chrome OS on laptops has made MS neurotic and paranoid
Non-sodomites also buy Apple products. That’s a kinder, gentler way to say it.
It’s just about standard gear in the photo biz. It’s almost like I have no choice. And, not ALL photographers are sodomites.
> Non-sodomites also buy Apple products. That's a kinder, gentler way to say it.
It's undoubtedly true that both sodomites and non-sodomites buy Apple products.
Unfortunately (for you), the statistics show that the percentages are roughly the same for the other major brands.
So if you plan to avoid Apple products because sodomites buy them, you'll have to avoid the other major brands as well.
Granted that Apple historically has had an edge among certain creative fields that attracted many gay folks -- artists, photographers, musicians, etc. -- but that edge has largely been obscured as Windows got better (around the advent of Win7) and more importantly the Windows applications for artistic and other creative endeavors got good enough to really compete.
And the sodomites have moved into the other brands. Making it hard to avoid, sorta like, "They breathe air, so I'm gonna hold my breath..."
Dennis, you're kinda stuck.
You could, of course, get an abacus.
I have the impression that ever-improving Windows and Windows apps for photography have blurred that once-bright distinction, in recent years. Do you see that in your work?
> And, not ALL photographers are sodomites.
Well, that's certainly comforting. But rather like damning with faint praise...
If I ran Apple my mew advertising slogan for 2016 would be “Non-sodomites also buy Apple products”
But I use my phone for business mainly and it has the connection to Office that I need + the few apps (transportation search, weather, maps) that I want.
I can understand people who like Apple's or Google's huge stores, but for me I find the Windows phone good.
I’m no Apple fan — never owned an Apple product. But their competitors aren’t much better in the conservative rankings.

I disagree. Apple has a lot more visibility and cachet as being pro-gay and pro-LGBT or whatever they call themselves these days. Tim Cook has gone far in his pro-gay advocacy. Just look up Alabama where he was born and what Cook was saying about a gay marriage referendum there
