Whats your price range? Based on purpose, you definitely want a tablet if all you're going to do is web surfing and gaming. I would suggest the ipad. You're apps selection in iTunes is far better than the android. Ever since I got mine, i use it religiously and rarely ever break out the laptop. The tablet is a lot more convenient, it's not just about weight, the keyboard does take up a lot of space and bulky. Combined with an wifi printer and you're pretty much set. This is based on your sole use of web surfing and games tho. There not a good Office suite, so if you plan to build powerpoints, spreadsheets or dissertations....its not a viable option.
