I don't own one yet, but my advice is always come from the angle of "what do I want to do with the device".
Once you know that you can then choose one to fit.
Because of the design of a laptop, you can do more with it. With a tablet you are somewhat dependant on the apps. The upside to a tablet is that it is very portable.
You have a big choice out there too. Go into stores and play with them. Ask questions and ask questions of friends or colleagues who own them.
It's a bit of a pain, but research is required.
Major platforms Apple, Android and soon Microsoft.
Just a bit off top of my head, I'm sure others can add to this as I know they have a tablet.
she'd mainly use it for FB that sort of thing, would it be ok for that or am I better off getting a new laptop?
my daughters asked me to pick one for Christmas, I think I am going for the Galaxy Nexus Aims, the Blackberry tablets had a massive price cut...Dixons and PC world are now selling the 64gb for ÂĢ129, so good value if that's the one you go for

I've just seen one at PC World for ÂĢ129 I don't want to spend too much in case she doesn't use it

there's plenty of android tablets out there if she's just going to use it fir facebook
Aims. I've just been browsing and thought this might help. It's a little bit out of date though cos the Android system has moved on to a newer version than the one they mention here
