can anyone recommend a good tablet. my android galaxy tab has just given up the ghost so i figured id buy a windows 8 tablet next.

I'm not much help with the Windows tablets, but if you were still interested in Android based, Google Nexus 7 has served me very well, as well as the ASUS Transformer series. Google just recently released a newer version of their Nexus 7 too.

yeah i was considering a nexus 7 but i think im gonna try a windows 8 tab next.

If you can stretch (and want to use for development as well) go for the Surface Pro. If it's purely for consumption, the Surface RT may suffice (with Office built-in) otherwise ASUS and some others have an ATOM based versions.

There is apparently new surface models coming in the next few months.

I have an Acer W7 and I love it.

just been pcworld and was advised that the new surface models are due out mid september.They said that they will be full windows 8 and not rt and another price drop is expected on earlier models.I think i can wait a month and see what they are like.In the meantime i bought a nexus 7,i know its not a windows tablet but i had money in my pocket burning a hole.I will prob get a surface next month as well.Thanks for the feedback guys.

Very cool you got a Nexus 7! I get the "burning a hole in the pocket" feeling :) It will be good to have both anyways, dave.h!
