I was shopping around for a tablet, but the best ones are pretty expensive ($600+). So then I got to thinking that I could buy a netbook for the same price (possibly less).

So which is the better investment? A tablet or a netbook? If I do get a netbook, I'd like one with a touch screen, but I can't really find any.

If you're going to get a netvertible, you might as well step up to a proper convertible tablet, if you don't mind something around 12" in screen size. They're actually pretty affordable on eBay these days, if you don't mind buying used Pentium M or Core 2 Duo-era hardware. What do you plan on doing with these things, anyway?

Well I wanted a tablet for things such as games, streaming music and movies, checking email, surfing the web, and accessing the market. But then I started to think, well I could just buy a netbook for the same price, or even less, and do even more with it. I'm assuming a netbook is capable of more than a tablet.

yes a tablet is pretty much pointless..you should look iinto the latest amd fusion based netbook or a good dual core netbook with ion graphics.
