Tablets

why do these exist? is there a reason to own one? just seems like a stupid toy to scribble on or whatever

RDP + iPad = portable power

laptops are already portable. also I tried one of these on iPad pro and even with a keyboard it was un-fucking-useable

Collegefag here.
With a bluetooth keyboard, a 10" android machine is a decent substitute for a laptop if your not a CS major or something. It's also lighter, cheaper, and the battery lasts all day.

Are you going to make this thread every fucking day?

Y E S

fucking deal with it faggot your tuch computers are shite

For everything else I can use my desktop

They've got some legit purposes, for example they've saved airlines hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel. And then there are general consumers that use them for browsing the web, reading, watching movies, playing games, etc. If you can't find a use for one, then don't buy one. No need to repeatedly make threads about it.

>ey've saved airlines hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel
what for?

I only use mine when I'm on the shitter.

I'm in college and torrent all my textbooks so it's nice to carry a tablet around to classes with me with all my textbooks on them.

Pilots carried ≤35lbs of paper per flight before tablets. Take into account the tens of thousands of flights that occur every day and it really adds up.

But tablets make people lazier, and in turn fatter. So it balances out.

because microsoft has failed in the market for pads, & is trying to "revitalise" the crappy PC market, we are now infested with pointless threads such as this

people are using tablets .. tablets are essential .. maybe they think we should pull a PC around behind us on a trolley. Tablets are larger phones. The phone market is the tablet market. Microsoft are out of both

why we have these idiotic, headed threads

GO AWAY MICROSOFT SHILLS

why do PCs exist?

Is way superior as a reading medium than a notebook just by being more convenient to take around.

If I need to read, and nothing else, then a tablet is the best option.

Quit being fucking retarded.

why is everyone getting so butthurt? L I T E R A L L Y i dont browse Sup Forums everyday thats why i dont know about "muh fuck tablet threads everyday" meme

honestly just curious

tell me when you figure out, I'd love to know

why does a smaller device, higher quality graphics, touch screen. low power usage; ubiquity exist?

tell me when you can write a webpage or do creative cloud tier shit and then tell me theres purpose

>quit using logic fucking shitlord!

also
>thinking a 400,000 pound piece of machinery will even take into account a 35 pound stack of papers

>iFunny
Fucking die lol

>>quit using logic fucking shitlord!
You can't just spew bullshit and call it logic
>>thinking a 400,000 pound piece of machinery will even take into account a 35 pound stack of papers
Tell that to the airlines that have saved millions of dollars thanks to the reduced weight.

people are "writing web pages now", within browsers .. there are certainly apps to allow you to write a web page on a tablet. The age of the PC, bloated packages, that's over

Mostly for kids. Parents don't want their kids to have a phone, and laptops are too expensive. So they buy them a tablet.

ok, but

how do i write the webpage that lets me write the webpage?
didn't think about that did you user?

I'm a college student -- computer science, no less -- and an iPad Pro + Apple Pencil is basically all I carry now. It's awesome, I've all but eliminated paper from my daily life.

Enjoy using a laptop while standing/walking. It's miserable.

Every pound matters when you're trying to achieve lift. Kind of like how it costs $80,000 to deliver a gallon of water to the ISS.

They make laptop convertibles, you know. I flip my laptop into tablet mode to use while standing quite often.

tablets are useless pieces of shit

at least the windows ones with a useful OS not some toy shit like ios and android

Yeah, they do make laptop convertibles. They weigh like three fucking pounds, and are chunky as fuck. Not ideal for prolonged one-handed use.

They're good for entertainment. If you're sitting on the couch or in bed and feel like doing internet stuff, it's nice to have a tablet handy. Also they're kind of optimized for reading articles/threads like these because of their vertical layout.

>three whole pounds
OH MY GOD, THE HORROR

I won't even buy something over one pound, or any phone over 128 grams

Congrats?
