And the author STILL doesn’t understand the purpose of a tablet. Tablets are for LEISURE, not productivity. Sure, you can do work on them, but when you pull up a virtual keyboard, you lose about half your screen. That is not a practical solution for work, is it? See, this isn’t hard?

Conversely, you can read a tablet on a plane, on the sofa, in bed and even in the bath tub. The tablet is light weight and portable. Try doing this with a laptop and odds are you will damage if. This is because tablets are made for LEISURE activities. Like surfing the net, reading email, reading books, watching movies, or playing games. Stuff you can do with a tablet easily in cramped spaces, such as a plane, train, automobile, sofa or bath tub.

The author is apparently clueless

That makes sense.

Bingo.

I never do any “work” on my tablet. It’s a web surfing/you-tube/gaming toy.

I use my iPad only for leisure. It's great for when I'm sitting outside on the deck smoking a cigar, or looking up a sports stat while watching a baseball game, checking email with breakfast, etc. I have a desktop PC when I want to get any work done.

Tablets are also excellent when it comes to check the boxes vertical applications that have to be used in many places in a short period (e.g. hospitals, homeowner's insurance adjusters, delivery drivers, etc.)

I commute to Manhattan and spend over two hours a day on a train. The iPad tablet has made this commute something to look forward to. I leave my laptop at work and also have one for when I get home.

Precisely.
