advice needed on buying a tablet.. which one shall I buy?!

[zeban]

Can anyone help me with what tablet to buy for myself. I'd like to buy a tablet as an alternative to a laptop-my laptop has broken so thinking to buy a tablet instead, So I need the tablet to do everything that a laptop can do basically. It will be for mainly browsing the web, uploading photos, some light word processing etc. I have a budget of around 250 and I'd like it to be light but robust with as large a screen as possible.

I know for my budget I can't afford an ipad and a mini one doesn't appeal to me. Does anyone recommend any other models?

Thank you

I'd go for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, which you can get for just over ?300.

Asus Transformers are great if you want a detachable keyboard.
