Hi, my Pastor needs a device that will be suitable for him and I need advice for him:
1. Something that is not as heavy as a laptop because he is a writer and he types his books by himself mostly on the bed
2. Long battery life is key to him
3. He wants something he can use on the pulpit and can view multiple screens together at same time(Bible, life browsing and his sermon notes being viewed at same time
4. Good memory and expandable by memory card
5. wifi and sim enabled browsing
6. Tv out for viewing recorded messages on large screen
7. Keyboard compatibility(Not just the on-screen touch keyboard)
= He hope to get a tablet that can work almost like a laptop or better but not less than a 10inch screen
Someone suggested Ipad, but he's not in tune with apple, which other devices will you suggest?
His budget is around a #100k

Pls whatz ur advice?

the galaxy note 10.1 goes for about 100,000 naira. But for the Mhl a/v cable i don't knw ow much it costs.
basically what the cable does is that it enables the usb to connect to an external screen.

Another option is Galaxy ace duos. its about 33k.

Since he wants a tablet that is like a laptop replacement with physical keyboard, i think the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 is the perfect choice for him.

Thanks, but is this device readily available in the Nigerian Market, and servicable in Naija like Samsung Products' Warranty?
And is it Sim enabled?

Both Microsoft Surface and Nexus 10 do not seem to be sim enabled and Nexus doess not have a slot for micro sd,

Have you really seen a sim enabled one? I can't seem to find one anywhere.

All websites and dealers said it is not Sim Enabled. Even gsmarena.com says same.
Pls check.
