Can I get the rapid gist of the tablet meme in the [[[[current year]]]]?

Can I get the rapid gist of the tablet meme in the [[[[current year]]]]?

Are they good for anything? Were they ever?

I'm thinking about getting a used nexus 7 2nd gen for cheap; for shiposting, ebook/pdf reading and youtube/web browsing.

I own a Nexus 7. It's a great tablet. But I'll also say this:

I own a Chromebook as well and use it 10X more than I use the tablet. There's no reason to use a tablet when Chromebooks exist.

>I own a Chromebook
Which one?
I really don't know, it seems I'd be better to get a laptop instead.

I keep one by my bedside, screw around with it before bed, that's all it's good for.

I have a Surface 3 (non-Pro), it's great but only when you factor in the keyboard & trackpad addon I have for it. I wouldn't want to use it as a straight tablet.

I can't think on any other use for it other than bed shitposting and stuff,but mainly thinking of using it as an eBook reader.

Literally only good for watching porn and movies in bed

Shit for reading

>Shit for reading
explain, I don't wanna get a kindle because of drm and shit.

I also own a memebook + nexus7 and I find that ebooks and PDF and just general reading much better on the tablet just due to the fact you can hold it instead of having to use a lap or surface. That being said shitposting or anything requiring typing is obviously better on the laptop/netbook form factor.

LCDs make reading ass

E-ink is good tho
