Are these "tablet" tablets, or something more like a laptop that masquerades as a tablet?
- nl 10y agoMostly iPads, but I use my Nexus 7. Surface Pros too of course, but I agree this is getting close to a laptop.
- freyr 10y agoNow this is just getting silly. Comparing a lightweight laptop to a modern tablet with a peripheral keyboard, the primary difference is a mechanical hinge.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoThe real difference is more about the underlying software ecosystem. And granted - this is slowly converging.
- srcmap 10y agoFew years ago, I setup my android platform to allow chroot into a ubuntu for ARM rootfs directory. With that, there is almost zero different than Linux PC. (Well, except may 16+GB of RAM and few TB of SSD/HDD)
- dredmorbius 10y agoA 10" Android tablet + bluetooth keyboard isn't bad from a hardware perspective. The OS and software stink.
