Their reasons not to buy a tablet are somewhat flawed. They essentially say that... 1. Tablets aren't portable 2. Tablets don't have hardcore games 3. Tablets can't do "real" work 4. Tablets aren't better than laptops when it comes to surfing the web, watching movies, etc. 5. Tablets will be replaced with other tablets (who would have thought!) Reasons 1-4 are all based off the assumption that tablets should be able to compete with laptops and phones at the same time. However, tablets are in a different market than phones and laptops for a reason. Apple and some other companies have come along and created something that people have been longing for a while: an intermediate device between a phone and a laptop. Tablets are portable, but not the same way phones are. That's because people would rather carry around something of bigger size with more functionality than a phone. Tablets don't have hardcore games, because the majority of users are casual gamers. Hardcore games are for people who sit down at their computers for hours while leveling up on a game. Casual games are for people who want to play games in short spurts for quick fun. No long term commitment is needed. Tablets do the work most people need to do on the go. "Real" work is done at a desk on a laptop or desktop. Tablets are there to fill in and help get the basic work done when you're on a taxi, plane, etc. Tablets let you surf the web and watch movies anywhere, with ease. Instead of some distant interaction with your laptop using a mouse, tablets offer direct control using touch. They give you the features you need and no more. Content consumption and entertainment has never been better than it has with the tablet. I will refrain from discussing the last argument listed in the article, as another argument will come along in a few weeks and replace that argument. There's no worth wasting my time doing something like that. :)
