Default A question from a very dense person.

I am sort of dense, so I have a question here..please don't laugh too hard and remember that my mind sort of is having issues lately. There is a tablet on sale, and I am wondering if with my home wi-fi it would do for getting on the net to places like this, facebook, etc. Again..please don't laugh too hard.

Any cheap tablet/Notebook will do though as long as I don't need a phone plan and can use my house's wi-fi.

I have an iPad, but a guests over at my house have never had a problem using Android tablets or even Nook readers and tablets with my house wifi.

Tablets are "tablet computers" and not smart phones. You'll be able to use it without a phone plan and use your house's wifi to get onto the internet and use any apps you pick up on it.

Yeah, that one looks like a good one for what you want to do.

The only problem with some tablets is the lack of Flash for web games like Farmville.

I don't think there are any tablets/netbooks that don't have wifi capability any more. Just get something that doesn't require you to purchase a "plan".

I believe only Apple products have that annoying little side note, unless they've changed that.

Adobe themselves no longer support Flash on Android. I believe you can still install it on some older versions, but not on the latest versions.

That's right. If you have an android tablet without Flash already installed, you can't get it from their app store anymore.
