Laptop Dying! suggestions?

While I have a quad core Gateway desktop, I find myself using my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 more and more. I got it around Christmas and paid $199.00 for it. It is flat out AWESOME. It also has a micro USB connector and for $17.00 you can order a adapter to connect a standard flash drive. Additionally a Android based tablet plays nicely with a PC whereas a Apple product does not. I have both personal Android devices and a I-Phone 5C as a work phone and I can not tell you the frustration level I have trying to move files between my PC and I-Phone. I know that a lot of people will say that you have to use I-Tunes to do this but with an Android you need nothing. Hope that this helps.
