i understand perfectly, it's just why waste money on something that offers less functionality than what he's already got? That's unless you want a portable Internet player that isn't bulky and slow.
No.
Tablets are filling the void of portable gaming devices and consumer level computers that allow people who don't need or want a computer to complete everyday computing tasks without needing a netbook.
They offer an entirely different set of functionality to a computer, in how the software works, in how it costs, in how you interact with them, and what ways you can use them.
People who suggest tablets are a full blown replacement for computers, or that computers replace tablets, really have no clue what they are on about. It really doesn't make a difference if you prefer computers, maxwell, thats just how it is.
