Change your life style, live frugally and save more money.

Start with what you want to accomplish with the product, then narrow your search down to what you need: iPads will do 90% of what the average person needs, with a form factor that's flexible enough to change from a laptop style with keyboard to a tablet form with digital writing/signatures.
