My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet
- sudont 16y agoNone of these issues are relevant to the typical use of a tablet. The fact that he leads with the lack of a CD drive shows little he understands the device's role. I would bet that he beat up Apple when they dropped the floppy. The iPad is currently a companion computer. Not just as "your plastic pal who's fun to be with," but a companion to your real computer. Yes, you can't type that well on a screen. Yes, it doesn't have WIMP multitasking. But, how well can you balance a laptop in one hand? Tablets are meant to move with you, not just be set up. This is represented in the UI: you're interacting with a single multi-function object, not a collection of windows. His friends don't understand the still-evolving definition of a tablet, and neither does he.
