I agree, if all you want to use a tablet for is a portable picture
portfolio, any tablet will do at all. Pick one with a large screen and a
high resolution (like iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab) that is within your budget
If you want to do more with it, though, I'd consider a nice hybrid laptop.
Things like the HP Pavilion or Asus Flipbook will get you more bang for the
buck. No idea if Linux is installable on them, but if they are, all the
better.
