RE: Can Tablets Replace Laptops?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I don't think a tablet, no matter how big it is and how much RAM it has, will ever take the place of a laptop or desktop for people like you and me. Even if you plugged in a keyboard to it, it still wouldn't be able to do many of the things a laptop or a desktop handles easily, especially those graphically-intensive tasks that require a heftier GPU than the ones built into the tablet's processor.
Where I think tablets are most suited for are social media use, gaming, media playback, and maybe some light productivity if equipped with a keyboard. And I'm thinking of getting a tablet to offload most of my social media activities and Web3 gaming to. A likely purchase candidate is the Tecno Megapad LTE. This tablet is 12-inches and comes with a free keyboard.
A few years back this brand, Tecno, was something I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. But an emergency need for a new phone back in 2023 forced me to buy a Tecno Spark 10C, the only phone I could afford to buy at the time. And this phone has been working wonderfully since I got it, and hasn't given me any problems yet.
But it's stuck at Android 12 and is now considered obsolete. Anyway, the brand has grown and improved considerably since I first found out about it around 2016 or 2017. Its latest offerings are on my purchase radar as my phone is begging to be replaced with a more recent Android version.
🤣 So true, whenever someone tells me " Just use your tablet!", well that doesn't work that way. They think I am just out here for simple social media use or such but it goes beyond that. Tablet for me is at best for freewriting and youtube viewing other than that, I have no use to own one.
