Buy a Windows Tablet?

I currently have a decent Windows PC and a Windows phone.
I am thinking about buying a Windows tablet, so that I can watch and do some exercise videos in my garage.
I am trying to justify the spend on a Tablet. Does anyone else have a tablet who also has a Windows phone and a Windows PC and if so what do you use it for?

Firstly I should state that (despite how this may read) I am not really a "lover" of Windows.
But here's MY 2p-worth!
We have: Windows 'phones; Windows desktop; Windows laptop; iPad (older type) & just bought DS a Hudl2 for his Chrimbo. All Windows "stuff" is W8.1, apart from MY phone. (7.8)
Having used Android 'phones AND tablets I find that - whilst they have their place - Windows as an operating system is just so much more suited to OUR circumstances, so that I will be getting a Windows Tablet after Christmas (maybe in NY sales).
My better half (purely as just one example) LOVES her Facebook games .......... which will NOT play in Android as Flash isn't supported.
+1 for Windows.
ALSO (again, just MY opinion) a Windows tablet will work, out-of-the-box; be immediately familiar as an operating system; & be able to transfer whatever you want to between devices.
This has NEVER been my experience with Android.
Windows tablets are GENERALLY more-expensive than many Android (or Apple) tablets BUT they are USUALLY more-powerful AND more-capable.
As with any purchase .... and as you are now doing .......... check reviews and ask questions.
Re: "using it for .... " - it again (sorry) depends upon YOUR circumstances but HERE, we use a tablet as a replacement for the laptop a lot of the time. It's lighter & easier in many cases.
