3. Your tablet uses DU's simplified 'Mobile' website view.

Whereas your desktop is probably showing DU's 'Standard' view which has more icons and information on the screen. You can change your preferences from the My Account link (located in the upper right of DU pages) to make your desktop also display the 'Mobile' view. Just scroll down to Preferred format for regular web browsers and hit the 'Mobile' button/link.

If the wifi for your tablet and your desktop are on the same local network, you might want to consider installing an app on your tablet that would let you control your desktop from your tablet - that way you could do tasks which require the desktop but still enjoy the convenience and mobility of the tablet.

I believe the Microsoft Remote Desktop app is free. I am not an Android user, so I can't review that particular app (or any Android app). But for that price, it might be worth checking out. It will probably take a little technical knowledge to set up (and it may not even work with your devices [depending on your OS version and your local network]) - so it might require some research and/or assistance to get up and running. (Or something similar like a VNC server/client package.)
