The flavour here locally seems to be tablets as well, which I find bizarre 
when you could easily buy 3 standard PCs for the price of a tablet.  But bear 
in mind that a lot of LE "IT support" organisations may like the idea of 
messing about with new "cutting-edge" stuff, because it's more interesting, 
and because no-one expects it to work flawlessly (so no-one will get annoyed 
if it doesn't, unlike ordinary PCs).
