Q. I was considering an iPad 2, but I want to hear from you guys on anything that is better, facts or opinion. My budget is $400. I want a tablet to help with school work and take notes (to work Mircosoft Word if all possible), play games such as Minecraft on the go, and draw. Any suggestions or will an iPad 2 be good enough?
A. Generally, I like the iOS tablets better but in budget tablets I think you should give android tablets a try. For drawing Galaxy tabs will be the best because they have S-pen but for under $400 you can't get the latest Galaxy tabs( Galaxy tab 10.1 is around $470). The best Samsung tablet you can get within $400 is galaxy tab 2. My favorite is Xperia tablet S. You just need to compare its specs with the other tablets in the same price range and apart from the specs it has some unique features like being splash-proof, magazine fold design, being playstation certified and guest mode for more than one account support and there is a special cover that also functions as keyboard don't expect it to work as good as a normal keyboard but it's fine. The 16GB version is $399. The down-side is the memory card it doesn't use microSD but normal SD card. I believe The other budget tablets like kindle fire 8.9 HD are fine but they are not all rounders and some they may let you down because of less powerful processing fire compared with Xperia tablet S, ipads and Galaxy tabs. You can cmpare the tablets specs here:
Note: There is another tablet named tablet S not Xperia tablet S; tablet S is not a good tablet in my opinion but Xperia tablet S is good.

Can a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 run on just WiFi?
Q. I'm looking into buying a tablet. My mom said she would buy me a Kindle Fire (a lot because of the reasonable price), but when I was trying out my cousins and I got on to the front of Yahoo!, it was too small for my liking. Especially because I mainly use the Internet to just browse a few websites through out the day, loading photos online, and to play solitaire, I'd like the images to be larger.
I was looking around online for other types of tablets and read about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. The way it sounded when I read about it though, was that you need to buy some kind of plan, the same way you do for a cell phone. Is that so?
Also, do most tablets have the outlet to be able to load pictures on them from digital cameras?
A. Yes... almost every tablet can run on Wifi only...Just make sure you get the Wifi only version If she was talking about the Kindle Fire HD then I think it would be a better idea... if you want the bigger screen then go for the 8.9" version,
Kindle Fire HD has the better screen 8.9" @254 PPI vs Galaxy tab 2 10.1" @149PPI.
Here is discussion on is 8.9" screen still small or not:

Galaxy tab does have advantages like:
- microSD slot
- Google play store
- A bit bigger screen
