RevolverSaro 01/12/12 10:40:00 PM #10:	Copy pasting a part of the wikipedia article on this subject. Disadvantages of tablets outweighs advantages Advantages Usage in environments not conducive to a keyboard and mouse such as lying in bed, standing, or handling with a single hand. Lighter weight, lower power models can function similarly to dedicated reading devices like the Amazon Kindle. Touch environment makes navigation easier than conventional use of keyboard and mouse or touch pad in certain contexts such as image manipulation, musical, or mouse oriented games. Digital painting and image editing are more precise and intuitive than painting or sketching with a mouse. The ability for easier or faster entry of diagrams, mathematical notations, and symbols. Allows, with the proper software, universal input, independent from different keyboard localizations. Some users find it more direct and pleasant to use a stylus, pen or finger to point and tap on objects, rather than use a mouse or touchpad, which are not directly connected to the pointer on screen. [edit]Disadvantages Higher price – convertible tablet computers can cost significantly more than non-tablet portable PCs although this premium has been predicted to fall.[72] Input speed – handwriting or typing on a virtual keyboard can be significantly slower than typing speed on a conventional keyboard, the latter of which can be as high as 50–150 WPM; however, Slideit, Swype and other technologies are offered in an effort to narrow the gap. Some devices also support external keyboards (eg: iPad can accept Bluetooth keyboards and USB keyboards through iPad Camera Connection Kit Dock Connector-to-USB adapter. Apple has also released a keyboard dock) Ergonomics – a tablet computer, or a folded slate PC, does not provide room for a wrist rest. In addition, the user will need to move his or her arm constantly while writing. More knowledge of the programs is needed – because information on e.g. icons isn't obtained by pointing at them. (The Compaq Concerto from 1992 didn't have this weakness.) Weaker video capabilities – Most tablet computers are equipped with embedded graphics processors instead of discrete graphics cards. In July 2010, the only[citation needed] tablet PC with a discrete graphics card was the HP TouchSmart tm2t, which has the ATI Mobility Radeon HD5450 as an optional extra. Business-oriented tablet personal computers have been slow sellers from 2001 to date.[73] Screen risk – Tablet computers are handled more than conventional laptops, yet many are built on similar frames; in addition, since their screens also serve as input devices, they run a higher risk of screen damage from impacts and misuse. Hinge risk – A convertible tablet computer's screen hinge is often required to rotate around two axes, unlike a normal laptop screen, subsequently increasing the number of possible mechanical and electrical (digitizer and video cables, embedded WiFi antennas, etc.) failure points.[citation needed] Smaller display and lack of keyboard. -- "Don't freeze up girl, you're looking quite a sight." - Adam Ant.

I don't do anything that requires mad processing power, but I greatly like being able to take my computer with me when I travel, stay at my parents' for a few days, etc. Heck, I love it just around the home, so I can take it to different rooms if I'm cooking, watching TV, hanging with friends but still want to keep an eye on hockey scores, etc. Tablets have pretty obvious disadvantages to both, although I'll probably get around to getting one eventually. -- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion <cite>NeoElfboy posted [p:660452] in Why do peo...

Don't cheat and use one of those old tablets that are just a laptop with a touchscreen, show me a legit tablet. Also, I need to use Microsoft Office. Not some app that can try to do what Office does, I mean the program that Microsoft makes. Go on. That's not even mentioning all the games and stuff that I have that require Windows, or at least an OS for a personal computer. I'm not trying to say that tablets are crap. It is just that laptops can do so much more for me, and my Android smartphone covers the rest. I don't see much of a reason to spend $400 on a tablet. For $100, it would be a fun toy, but I just can't really justify a tablet. Sure, I'd like to get one, but I just can't replace my laptop just yet. -- Zachnorn - <D http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/4503/qrcode857546.th.png <cite>Zachnorn posted [p:660464] in Why do peo...

Zachnorn 01/13/12 12:08:00 AM #29:	Of course. However, I was talking more about the average casual user. It seems to me that a lot of people tend to just use one program at a time and don't multitask. Most "multitasking" is just switching one full-screen program for another or playing music while doing something else. At least, that's what I have noticed with people that do not use computers that much outside of work. Many people are also not that familiar with keyboard shortcuts and the like. I've still met plenty of people that think I am a wizard for using copy/paste with keyboard shortcuts. For people that just care about Facebook, YouTube, e-books, and Angry Birds, I definitely see tablets as a possibility of replacing a laptop. I actually use the window feature in Windows, I use keyboard shortcuts, I use mice (when I can, anyway), and I use programs that just work better (or at all) on a laptop. Therefore, laptops are better for me. -- Zachnorn - <D http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/4503/qrcode857546.th.png <cite>Zachnorn posted [p:660469] in Why do peo...
