@dredmorbius@toot.catThe Case Against Tablets
As I hunt for new computing hardware, I’m coming to the conclusion that tablets are simply a mistake. And yes, strongly informed by using one as a primary device for 5 years.
An ultra-light laptop has better utility and vastly superior privacy.
The one killer function, reading documents, seems better served by an e-book reader. ...
I'm exploring this question on Diaspora, with some good suggestions. Upshot is that tablets do most things poorly and virtually nothing well. And the landscape fully sucks.
Text reading and possibly notetaking is the major exception. And for that, an e-ink reader is the preferred option.
I'm surveying what uses people have, multi-response, with a goal more of completeness than representation. Please explain "Other".
