I like the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 myself.


Android OS allows many different apps and compatibility.

I also have a Samsung Tab 2 7 inch but I find 7 inches is too small for surfing the internet effectively. With the 10 inch I can browse the Internet full version websites with ease.

For your purposes you may wish to get a netbook.

Tablets are best used for content browsing, not really for content creation. For content creation, a keyboard and mouse is a must and if Word document is what you need to create, a Windows OS is best. Windows tablets are too expensive for what they do, best get a netbook, it is the most cost effective. An ultra notebook is also another option, but it is more expensive, but in return you get more powerful processor. But if all you need is Word document creation and editing, then netbook is the best choice, light, small and cheap.

If you are indeed thinking of a netbook for doing general browsing and occasional document editing, you may wish to consider the http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/02/review-who-needs-windows-rt-acers-iconia-w510-runs-the-real-thing/

I think the price recently dropped to $899. I've used one before and although it is running on an Atom, it's the new Atom and it pretty snappy. Of course, with only 2Gb RAM, don't hope to do too much multi-tasking without lag. But with an impressive 13hrs battery life when connected to the keyboard dock... that should cover many inter-continental flights
