Notebooks vs. Tablets: What would you choose and why?

We're headed East for a short trip in a couple of weeks. I like to have something to write with when I am away- for poetry etc. I hate dragging a laptop with me due to the plane etc. I've been trying to figure whether its worth over a hundred just to have a smaller machine when we go. The machine HAS to have a keyboard and of course a word processor. Maybe I will just take my paper notebook that I do my journaling in. Sure would love to have something more, though.

Non of the above I prefer desktop and iPhone (and a good android phone as back up)

I still use a desktop and have been thinking of getting either a laptop or tablet. So far I have no idea which would be best

Laptops/netbooks

Once you handle you will learn it. This is not a great thing at all.

I have a tablet with a keyboard, its actually really helpful. and unless i do surveys i always have it on the keyboard. with the keyboard connected to it it opens and closes just like a laptop

Since today the smartphone size is bigger and therefore the tablet seems less important. A smartphone can replace the tablet but it can't take place for the notebook yet. So if I have to choose a notebook and a tablet, I will choose the notebook.

We don't have tablet in the house. We use all the time our laptops and smartphones

I like the notebook over the tablet. The notebook is better and a little bit better to use.

For me, both are good, but the tablets and notebooks are limited.

I use Laptop mostly and also iPad. It depends on convenience as when I travel I have to depend on iPad - siva

I like to have a Notebook because I cannot hold or handle Tablet, I prefer things that are at convenience and comfortable for me.

Laptop. I don't like tablet neither notebook.
