Any point in buying an Android tablet these days?

    I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S which is rarely used (Netflix while travelling, streaming some video, some digital magazines). It is on its last legs and too slow to use so I want to replace it.

    Ideally I'd like a larger screen, and a keyboard with ability to do outlook, word or ppt to avoid needing to take a laptop on some trips.

    Is there any point in sticking with Android for a tablet or should I just switch to an iPad? E.g. the iPad Air 13" looks a good size and much more functional. Are there any cheaper Android tablet alternatives to consider, given how little use it gets

    Have you considered Chromebooks? I ditched Android tablets for Chromebooks as my use case is a mix of work and personal browsing / Netflix etc. As my work email and files are all MS 365 Chromebooks allow seamless login and catch up. Great for some light / casual work on the move.

    I have a LENOVO IdeaPad Duet 3 10.95" 2 in 1 Chromebook which I love and for €350 it really offers great value.

    The newer Chromebook Plus devices are a big step up in performance. Something like the ACER 514 14" Chromebook Plus for €419 in Curry's would be my choice now if I was replacing the Lenovo.
