I don't hear this as much anymore, but it was common for critics to claim that people should just get a tablet instead of a Chromebook and add a keyboard. Well, I have a tablet, but I prefer not to use it for browsing the web for prolonged periods, and a keyboard on a tablet seems rather clumsy. If people like using tablets, more power to them. But many people seem not to grasp that not everyone wants the same things.

We have several nice tablets but I find I don't bother with them if a keyboard and mouse equipped machine is available.
Tablets are very good with maps though! I still use an advanced Garmin GPS while driving, but it isn't the thing to use while actually looking at the map and a phone is no better, while a 7" or larger tablet is nice if you are stopped or you are the passenger.
