I always bring with me my laptop/netbook wherever I go. But the problem is that this time my shoulder is already very painful due to the weight of this. I am planning to buy a cellphone that would function like a laptop where I can still continue with my work here in myLot and my other online job even if I go to other places. But I don't know if I could afford to buy it as of now. Can you suggest what brand and model do I have to choose if ever I decided to get one? Thank you for your participation.

I use my iphone sometimes and I log in to mylot and comment on discussions. Whenever I use my Iphone, I have a hard time because sometimes I misspell things because of the small keypads. I also can't attach a photo whenever I am starting a discussion. But it is pretty convenient to use anyways. Maybe you can get a samsung galaxy because it is bigger and it would be better for working online. Happy mylotting!

There are lot of cellphones on the market now that will enable you to connect to the internet. But if you intend to work with it, I suggest that you choose something with a bigger screen, a processor that is at least 1ghz and a RAM that is also at least 1gb. Phones with lesser specifications will only bring you frustrations because they will be be slower and will render you less productive. Maybe you can also look into the 7 inch tablets that are sometimes priced even lower than cellphones. Good day.

Hi, You can look for the mini laptops which is comparitively cheap or low cost with a little lesser configuration. You can get it from any of the shops or try some research through on-line and go for it. Some of the branded mini laptops simply got less than 1 kg. and you can carry it throgh your vallet. Also, you can go for the tabs for this purpose. However, if you got a mini laptop it will be useful for all purposes. Find out the price and go for a lesser config. with 60-80 gb. hdd., 1-2 mb ram, loaded with windows 7 or requied (only essential) softwares. You can easily reduce the weight. The total weight goes up when you carry the adaptor, batteries, etc. and here you need to get only the required accessories without the laptop bag and use your own bag, so that the weight can be still reduced.

Hi friend, a lot of tablets are available now for lower costs, you can buy them. Tablets are really very comfortable and available in affordable costs, which is better than smart phones.

That problem of yours can be easily solved.There are some available tablets nowadays. For the brands,it's better if you will visit stores for gadgets to concretely compared.However my own choice is samsung. Samsung brand is already been teted by myself based on experience with my phone before with it's durability.

You should get an android tablet with phone features. Like the samsung galaxy p6800. It has a big screen so that you can work online, and it also has phone capabilities. Samsung is a good brand makers of tablet and smart phones.
