I still don’t understand the point of any tablet. I mean, if you’ve got a smartphone and a laptop, why do you need a tablet at all?
To me it’s all of the inconvenience of not having a laptop, combined with no phone. A computer is better for computer stuff and a phone is better for phone stuff. Get two good things and skip the middleman.
Just... why?
They have their uses. For example, leasing agents at my company are using them, because they can view available apartments, take applications, take credit card payments, and even do lease signings on the tablet, without having to lug a laptop around all day.
The Surface Pro is, functionally, a laptop. It has a detachable full keyboard, and has an internal hard drive. It’s just more compact and more flexible than a typical laptop due to the touch screen. It also has a SIM slot, so you can add mobile data, which most laptops cannot do. True, it doesn’t (I don’t think) act as a true phone, but it can do video conferencing/Skype and so on over the data link.
