Tablets have yet to make themselves essential, but that doesn't mean they aren't nice to have around. A good tablet can be a portable TV screen around the house or a great way to enjoy apps and games on the go. The iPad's ease of use and best-in-breed software still make it the obvious choice for most people, but if you don't want an iPad, there are options. Android tablets have become useful enough to consider, and Amazon's incredibly affordable tablets are also worth it if your needs are light. Finally, if you mostly need a laptop that can stand in for a tablet, a Windows 2-in-1 might be your best bet.

In medieval England, Sir Ector raises two young boys—his son, Kay, and an adopted orphan named Art, who has come to be known as the Wart. Drinking port one day, Sir Ector and his friend Sir Grummore Grummursum decide that they should go on a quest to find a new tutor for the boys, since their previous tutor has gone insane. One day after working in the fields, Kay and the Wart go hawking. They take the hawk Cully from the Mews—the room where the hawks are kept—and head into the fields. Even though the Wart is better at handling Cully, Kay insists on carrying the hawk, and he releases him prematurely in the hopes that the hawk will catch a nearby rabbit.
