I broke My mobo some time back and was given a Dell with W8 and all

all the new bells and whistles, it gets the job done.
Now I want a fresh computer that is moe compact and it looks like I
have several choices in new gear. A laptop, tablet, ETC so what would
twist your short and curlies...a laptop or tablet?
I have a laptop that came with My data loging software and hardware,
and am not willing to use it for any other purpose.

What raises an eyebrow for you???

You fail to indicate the two most important factors :
1. price
2. what you want it to do

I don't care what it costs, and I need it to run My World.

About a year ago, I bought a clean ThinkPad T500
running Win8 Pro, for $ 140.
It needed a new battery - ~ $ 40.
and it is a super machine for my purposes.
It is a bit big for the touchscreen tablet lovers -
15 1/2 inch display but I prefer it.

A thinkpad? Thats a little more than I need.
A tablet looks fairly good, just as long as it is 10" or better.
