I accept I would still turn my laptop on for half an hour a day. Is the new Fire going to handle all this with decent response time. I love the response time of my mum's ipad mini 1. But will not tolerate the horrible fact that everything has to load via itunes. I hate the fact apple controls every damn thing. I would continue to use my kindle paperwhite for reading.

thank you

I don't know what VNC is but I doubt your requirements can be met by a kindle Fire, maybe a standard andorid tablet (I don't know for sure) but I can't help thinking, looking at your requirements, that you would do better waiting 6 months and getting a lightweight windows 10 tablet, or hybrid laptop/tablet with detachable screen.
