Are tablets the most useless tech nowadays?

[DSGB]

I have a desktop, 2 laptop, iPhone, and iPad. I use my iPad more and now. The other devices have settled into different uses.

desktop (Media server)
Laptop #1 (Work, VPN requirements)
Laptop #2 (older laptop, Portable Media PC connected to TV)
iPhone (phone and quick stuff)
iPad (siphoned off use from Laptop #1 and phone. I also use for reading and damn near all browsing, remote control for TV, skype, etc)

I've sold my wife's laptop since she no longer uses it. I hid it for 2 months and she never asked for it.

Tablets have revolutionized the entertainment while taking a shyt game breh..

I use it to read when I take a shyt, follow my fantasy teams when I watch football, watch Showtime App when I'm in bed.

Useful to me

The problem with most of them is they are useless without internet service. Don't give me that bullshyt that wifi is everywhere cause its not.

@ people walking around with tablets. If it's not for some train ride or a trip, why you lugging around a 10in device?

I only take my tablet out of the house for church (it's my bible) or if I'm getting on a plane.

Serves me well, and I'm using a HP TouchPad running CM9. But I admit, I wouldn't dare drop 400+ on a damn tablet. It's a luxury not a necessity.

They are convenient, especially with data access on the go, much easier than using a laptop or the smaller screen on the phone. They will never replace a computer for most. Sometimes you don't feel like using your pc, NetBook no matter how compact it may be. I use my tablet at some point almost daily and when I travel almost exclusively.

I use it around the house for browsing the net when I don't feel like opening up my laptop. After 5PM, I usually don't open up my laptop.

I also use it as a remote for my Roku players, and Xbox sparingly. I say sparingly because I normally use my phone for that.

I also find it convenient for remote access to my desktop which is in my office. Sometimes I just load up Splashtop and find something to download from another room, or if I want to have another League Pass game running I'll run it from my desktop using my tablet as another screen.

The experience is all what you make it. I remember people laughing when I was gonig hard trying to get my hands on this TouchPad, but I knew I was going to use the hell out of it... and I have. Best bargain deal purchase for an electronic device ever.

If they were truly useless nobody would buy them. I have an iPad and it serves its purpose (reading books, magazines, playing mini games, watching tv shows and movies when I travel).

My PC sits closed most of the time unless I need to do something heavy duty on it.

Never got the hype....appear to be just some big ass smartphones to me

They are toys. If I didn't have my note 2, I'd kop something in the 150 range. No way I'm paying more than that for a toy strictly used for entertainment.

My Nexus 7 replaced my textbooks. Seeing people carrying around expensive books while I whip out my tablet with ripped ebooks is just :ahhh:

 

[SuburbanPimp]

I thought so intially but I'm actually surprised how much I use my Nexus 7.

I probably on use my laptop once a week now to download music or movies.

It comes in handy, especially when you got a 2 year old and you trying to get stuff done, and they can watch cartoons, or play games and puzzles...

Mines is strictly for entertainment purposes so in that regard is does exactly what I wanted and expected it to do.

Old heads would call me demonic if i ever tried that

Tablet + Phone with mobile hotspot LTE =

Not really much to do on it but stunt, and you gotta have hella bluetooth devices to really enjoy it. I'm thinking of copping a android tablet this year if the specs is right. IOS already getting bluetooth hi-def mic support so im just waiting for the apps and what not to get my mobile studio popping

 

[Kayla Fortenberry]

it has its purposes for the right price..but spending too much is ridiculous when you can cop a netbook

 

[Ziggiy]

My iPad Mini disagrees with you

It's only demonic if you use it for porn viewing in addition to being your bible.
