I just don't like tablets.

Maybe it's my age or something, but I find tablets so difficult to work with. I took one to school with me Monday and quickly put it away. I had a hard time trying to check Email, post here, or do anything other than play solitaire on it. Yesterday I just brought my netbook to use between classes. It weight a bit more, but at least it is useful.
 
Hey, when I was a kid, these were the tablets we had:

I have the ipad 2, and I love it so much. it's honestly one of my most prized possessions. If I go from one room to another, the pad comes too.

I haven't had a home computer in 3 years.

Laptops made desktops obsolete for most of us and tablets have done the same for another subgroup.
 
I love the ipad. It's so convenient to check on something. Open the top type in the password and hit safari. I'm not going to write a novel on it but for what it does (replaces a laptop in my house) it's fantastic. It is also great when we travel.
 
I bought a cheap tablet that came with a keyboard, but the keyboard died immediately. I may but a better keyboard which might make the tablet better for me, but I think I'll probably just stick with the netbook.
 
I'm with you Gary. No tablets for me. Everyone in my house has a tablet, but I prefer a conventional thin notebook with a conventional keyboard and trackpad...and a normal desktop OS.
 
I love my tablet.

I also have a bluetooth keyboard for it, but I rarely use it.

It completely replaced my laptop (haven't had one for several years), and about the only reason I fire up my desktop anymore is if I want to record something.
 
I recently bought an Acer Memopad 7. It was only about $120 and has a quad core intel processor and basically its great. Still have a desktop in the house though (some gaming) and a laptop as the wife is a teacher, so she can keep all her crap off my stuff.
 
Changes like that just take some time to get over the learning curve. I prefer a laptop, too, but I got a lot more proficient with my tablet after a get-to-know-you period.
 
We have an iPad, which is cool unless there is a bunch of typing to do and the inconvenience of no USB ports. I use it to watch movies and recorded TV, plus read books and a few games.
It beats my old tablet. It makes me look young compared to Gary's. :poke:

I used to spend hours playing with these as a kid. I don't guess they make them anymore.
