TLDR : I like large screen, pocketable phone. It depends on how one plans to use it. I personally don't want to carry one device for reading, one for watching videos in addition to a phone. (It's very unweildy, I have done that fo

How fascinating. I wonder what is the measure of precision on such computers for real numbers. And can this be used for integer math if at all ?
