What are tablets actually good for?

mostly the same things as your phone except at a bit larger size, which mostly matters for reading text

tl;dr manga, books

i use my tablet to browse sadpanda and fap to trap doujins under the blankets.

It's really comfy desu.

Nothing

consuming, and when paired with a bt keyboard, an acceptable web browser. If you don't need IE or windows/PC apps, it can work.

Tablets are a meme. Too big to be pocket portable, and too small to use for productivity.

Reading. That's all.
It's a better option than getting an e-book reader. You can just go and buy any tablet and it will do the job just fine. Not a single reason to get tablets with quad core cpu or 2gb ram.

Just get one with sd slot, install perfect viewer on it and you are ready to go

Came here to say that

Distracting kids if you're a shitty parent.

Watching porn, reading, view some comic books, browse 4chans.
I guess that's it.

media consumption

The VLC app for android is nice. It can handle samba shares and shit too.

putting your mom on the internet within a safe unfuckupable app-based ecosystem, kind of like the inverse of

Sometimes I'll go out to eat, and you always see kids completely absorbed and distracted on their phone/tablet.
They're not even playing games, they're just watching some shitty twitch streamfag or a cartoon while mindlessly shoveling food in their mouth.

Reading and drawing. It's not like you can't do those on a computer, but its comfier.

Reading comics, magazines and papers. That's about it.

really good for comics, not much else

Browsing the web, watching videos or reading when you are in bed or taking a massive shit.

Sup Forums is the wrong place to ask about tablets as it's frequented by Asperger's Syndrome sufferers who enjoy tinkering obsessively with computers.

Tablets don't really provide an opportunity for tinkering, as they provide slick, secure and reliable access to useful software applications (or "apps") without any complications, so naturally Sup Forums can't see the point of them.

Furthermore, Sup Forums posters tend to have oversized phones, which makes possession of a tablet even more pointless in their eyes. The concept of a book-sized device that you can use on train, bus or airplane without having to squint at has no merit to them since they very rarely travel anywhere.

If pushed, Sup Forums users may grudgingly recommend Windows tablets, as they have a "real" operating system. The fact that Windows is designed for computers with keyboards and mice, and is a terrible touch OS with barely any touch-optimised software, means that these "tablets" are really laptops without keyboards, running software designed for desktops.

Finally, you will hear mention of the Nexus 7 2013. A three year old device with poor build quality and no SD card slot. This is because a few Sup Forums residents dabbled with the device when it was new and exciting, and have refused to move on with the times.

Sup Forums, browsing web, amazon, and YouTube

comics

Good for digital board games. I play Carcassonne on it with my gf while laying in bed. Better than physical because automatic scoring and you get to lay in bed.

Also quads confirms

That particular size is nice for reading books.

>Using Sup Forums in public

And you are such a nerd that you can't go 5 minutes without Sup Forums so you use it on your phone, in public and I'm assuming not with friends because why would a fat piece of scum like you have any friends because the cheetos and MTN dew are slowly replacing the blood with syrup and you will just die, alone, in your study, from a self inflicted gunshot because at the rip old age of 42 you realize that your life is an other waste and that you are a pathetic excuse of a human being who wasted the youth head on a website started by a jew that was then sold to a chink when you could have been other there, meeting the girl of your dreams, raising a family, growing old that that girl but instead you get up at 6AM to beat the traffic on a freeway but every time you try, you fail and you end up in morning rush where to your right is a fat fuck in a sadan stuffing his face with a breakfast sandwich, to your left is a mother ignoring her crying baby while she chats on your smartphone while two other rugrats fight in the back and your have to spend your day in a cubical while you wait for the one break you get or the sweet release of death, which ever comes first.

All because you just had to use Sup Forums on your phone in public

Reading pdfs.

Is this copypasta? He didn't say anything about browsing 4han in public.

I have an HTC 10 and an iPad 3. The phone has an SD slot for much music and the iPad is much easier to carry than my Thinkpad or MacBook, both of which just stay in my bedroom or office at home. The iPad is great because of the long battery life and I have an otter box to keep it protected, which doubles as a stand. It's jailbroken so I have most of the same functionality that I would get from a laptop. Tablets are great, but don't buy chink trash from Walmart. Get an iPad Air/Pro or a Pixel C. It's worth the extra money for sure.

This. And to browse 4chins, too.

Browsing porn in bed.

Reading mango in your comfy bed and on the shitter.

I own an iPad Air 1. Any advice for fapping in a comfy position? I always need to stick a finger up my ass to ejaculate, so I have to put the tablet on my knees to do it.
Or, sometimes, it falls on my face or chest and gets dirty with cum.

My N7 is a digital picture frame.

I replaced my laptop with a Windows tablet. I use it for Netflix, reading comics, taking notes in math class (having a pen + digitizer + OCD is a godsend). Good desktop and a cheap tablet is a killer combination. I honestly can't imagine buying a laptop again.

Thanks shill be sure to never post here again.

dick or cum tributes

My new tv came with a minitablet for a remote. Its actually something ive though would be a good idea since this smart tv shit started blowing up. Beats the hell out of using an onscreen keyboard+arrow buttons.
Other than that though i dont really have much use for it. I dont think id ever buy a tablet by itself.

I started giving out tablets as Christmas and Birthday presents and the number of inept family members asking for technical help plummeted.

If it's your largest and most powerful device then I'm sure it'll be useful for a lot of things. It's why it's so popular with old people and children. They're relatively large and durable and buying a phone that can do the same thing isn't economical.

As for watching movies, if all tablets came with a kickstand then maybe I'd use them for that but I don't know how the fuck people watch anything on tablets without getting neckpain.

The one you're accustomed to, I'll just stick my finger up your ass to help you.

may as well use a laptop

porn

no problem, I get 5 cents for every (You), so please keep it up :^)

i use my tablet for band rehearsal, i have all my chord sheets in it and its cleaner than bringing around fucking binders

Reading comic books and watching porn.
That's all I use mine for these days.

I have 2 chinkshit tablets: 8" is clipped to the side of my bed so I can watch stuff. Comfy solution to wanting to stream in bed but not wanting to buy another TV and streaming device. I travel on trains pretty regularly for work so I get a decent amount of use out of the 9.7" tablet for that. Rarely use it at home.

If you have an Nvidia GPU, the shield tablet is nice for streaming.

Tl;Dr but you sound like a faggot desu

Shitposting on Sup Forums and /x/, reading, buying consumer electronics, reading email, etc. from anywhere in the house and in my girlfriend's car.

I can do all this from my phone, but some things are better on a larger screen.

What tablet is it? I have a Spectre X360. Thing is amazing.

I use my iPad primarily for watching videos, which kinda sucks because the iPad has a 4:3 screen. The only app I use besides YouTube, VLC, and Plex is Safari.

Any good deals on a decent tablet? Looking to get one, for the reasons given in this thread, hopefully 10 inches.

Nothing. Fucking nothing. I should sell my Galaxy Tab

Lol

Pfft.

Took away admin privs on my mom's account for her own laptops. She occasionally complain "something won't install and needs the admin password!" but hopefully one day she'll understand it's the last thing keeping her computer functional and not datamining her.
