I completely agree with this article and feel completely justified by it. When tablets/iPad first came out all my friends were buying them. However I rejected them completely. I thought why would you pay that much for what you are getting in terms of hard drive space, ram, and processor speed? For the ability to look cool with a futuristic device? To use your finger to control it? For the lightweight, compactness, and convenience? Tablets/ipads are purely consumption devices, but laptops and smart phones are productive devices that can also behave as consumption devices. I just didn't get it. In fact I finally broke down and bought a tablet, and guess what, it has become my children’s toy/entertainment device, and my wife and I rarely have a desire to use it. I guess they finally got my money.
