If that is the case it's no wonder more people are using the tablets more than the their PC. That and the fact that they have to justify the huge price tag.
I fall in the 20% which is why I'm not big on tablets...
I'm also guessing that once the tablet fad dies down a little tablets like the Asus Transformer will become more popular. (Then again maybe that is my bias being in the 20%) |
That's pretty much what I was thinking. The things I do on my desktop system could not be done on a tablet. The things my roommate does on his desktop, however, probably could be done on a tablet for the most part.
I couldn't even replace half of what I do on my laptop(s) with any tablet other than a slate PC. My mom could probably replace her computer completely with a decent Android tablet or an iPad.
It ain't what you got, it's how you use it.
I did chuckle at the wording of the quoted section - used (item) "less often or not at all". There's a bit of room between "less often" and "not at all" and if buying a tablet doesn't mean I'm using my other item less, then what good is it? (Which is why I don't have one. But believe me, if I could justify it, I'd have one. In a heartbeat.)
