I forgot that iPads don't run Mac OSX, they run iOS or something like that. I feel a bit silly for even mentioning that, I was just throwing down some requirements that are needed to accomplish the things I am interested in accomplishing. Therefore, it's time to make some edits to OP; I've never really been on a machine with less than 4GB ram in what feels like 10-years. I honestly would not mind spending about a grand on a really nice tablet, but at that point I would probably be better off just getting one new from a store.
I'll bump the RAM requirement down to 4GB, because you're right I probably don't need that much for what I plan to do. Thanks for giving me a few tablets to look into, because I don't know squat about tablets, except that I would benefit from having one. I'll also remove Mac OSX as an acceptable OS. It's strange to me that a few GB of ram makes the entire machine so much more expensive.
I will probably have to go with a Windows OS tablet then, since I do not know another OS available for tablets that could run Flash, Java, the games I want, etc. Thanks for the heads up and tips, gonna adjust myself accordingly.

Don't actually own a tablet that would meet these requirements, but wanted to give you a heads up that likely very few people will...
There are no tablets in existence (AFAIK) that run Mac OS X.
There are only a couple tablets with that much ram:
Microsoft surface pro. (Only a few of the nicer configurations.)
HP Spectre x2.
Lenovo Miix 510.
All these are likely a grand, each.
If you bumped the required ram down to 4 gigs, you'd likely have a lot easier of a time finding something.
Browsing and light gaming should work really, really well, even on 4 gb ram.
Not sure about the java requirement, and how that impacts things, but if you were to consider android, too, samsung has some really beautiful tablets that are a lot cheaper than windows powered ones.
(As a reference, I have an older samsung galaxy tab E lite running android 4.4, and browsing/games run really smoothly. That's on 1 GB of ram. But also only a hundred bucks new.)
Good luck.

Hey everyone, I know I'm not being very specific, but that's because I'm not too specific about what I'm in the market for. I'll lay out some criteria, and if you have something that fits it, feel free to leave a post and make an offer.
I'm interested in a Windows tablet (or any OS that will run Flash + Java). I need something that is going to function with Java properly.
I'm not too picky on screen size, but I would like something that I can plug into a keyboard of some sort (to make typing more seamless). I'd like a high-resolution preferably 1080p+ (not required), hopefully 4GB RAM, something that is going to be responsive and snappy. I'm really not too picky, but I'm looking for something with a good amount of power in it, as far as tablets go. Even the resolution and ram aren't hard and fast rules. I'm looking for something that will handle internet browsing and light games, like Runescape and apps. I've got a pretty big budget, but I figured I would test out the waters here before I head to a big-box store.
Post your tablet, specs and a price below for my consideration, I'll get back to you or respond directly in the thread. If I don't find any good offers around here within about a week I will just buy from a brand name store.
