Tablet or netbook? Which is better?

It would be used for surfing internet, playing games (flash essential) and homework.

The budget is £200 and I can't go a penny over.

My original thought was this netbook but then I saw this tablet

Hmm, thoughts anyone?

If it's for homework as well then the netbook.

My general rule is that tablets are good for content consumption where as you need a keyboard and mouse to content generation.

So reading stuff online is great with a tablet.

But typing lots of stuff in (e.g. an essay) is a pain.

So it depends on what sort of usage you'll be doing, is homework reading or writing?

[jamandposterpaint]

Yes, homework as well. Mainly for bits of research though.

She has use of my netbook (with windows etc) to write up docs.

X-post badgers, mainly for reading.

That tablet doesn't support flash.

Ah, missed that, thanks Viva.

Back to the drawing board then ...

Also, Flash games are rubbish in a tablet. Firstly they dont run great, secondly as my 4yr old found out, most flash games like those on miniclip assume you have a keyboard/mouse. So when you have a tablet, there's no way to control the game.

So another one suggesting a netbook is better for your needs.

An ipad2 doesn't support flash - that shouldn't put you off.

Ok, I know I said not a penny over £200, but any thoughts on this one?
