Many people (possibly a majority) use their phone for most of their computing, and perhaps a tablet to stream movies/tv. They use a laptop or desktop for work only, and see those as frustrating and clunky devices. There could be a lot of demand for "phone, but with a tablet screen when I want to watch Netflix" from the segment of the population that has zero overlap with people commenting on a tech forum.
- system2 2mo agoI know many people without a laptop or desktop at home. They don't find it strange. I can't imagine not having at least a laptop in my life.
- Magi604 2mo agoI know someone exactly like that. He runs a very profitable side business (reselling) using only his smartphone to take pictures, upload them, message customers, emails etc. I'm always baffled how he doesn't at least have some small laptop to help him type out stuff when needed, but he's doing just fine.
- gregglain 2mo agoThe folks around me that computing includes a lot of social and game consumption.
- alexpatin 2mo agoI just got the z fold 8. I'm finding vibe coding much more appealing in tablet mode with the extra horizontal real estate. Chat on the left, browser preview on the right. Before, vibe coding away from my desk has always been a PITA. This is actually useful.
- port11 2mo agoWhat’s the overlap between that AND with people that can put 1000+ into a phone? No, but honestly, outside the US?
- ulfw 2mo agoHuge outside the US where people live in small places and use public transport rather than living in mansions with big TVs and be in a car (no phone use) all day.
- tencentshill 2mo agoIt's not sold as $1999, it's "$83.29/mo. for 24 mo." Sounds a lot more affordable that way.
