Name one (1) thing tablets are good for other than reading manga and viewing porn.
Phones/laptops/desktops are better for literally anything else.
Tablets are the comfiest way to compute in your bed
This. I bought one on Black Friday five years ago, and I've used it every single day for listening to/watching stuff in bed.
what is a phone you fucking retards
retarded zoomer
Comfy as fuck.
I like those 2in1 laptops for that.
>Tablet where you have a massive lever arm pressing against your hand and its impossible to type
vs
>netbook you can rest on your belly/next to the pillow
I'm not seeing it.
I fell asleep holding one, and it fell down and smacked me right in the face.
Battery life?
>Name one (1) thing tablets are good for
Terminals.
this, I have one stuck too my wall as a way to easily controll shit and view systems info
drawing and 3d modeling
This and viewing youtube while i do house chores, i dont use it for anything else.
becoming out of date and unable to upgrade to any software or os because the bootloader is locked
they do it faster & better than everything else.
Tablets aren't even the king of manga reading anymore
E-Inks are a vastly superior manga reading experience
Once you try it for the first time, you will never be able to go back to a tablet's trash screen in comparison
There's really no point for regular tablets to exist anymore, really
>E-Inks are a vastly superior manga reading experience
Can you install TachiYomi on them?
Not that I know for Kindle, at least not without fucking it up hard
I think Boox have e-inks with Android, but I never tried one
After many years of B&W you just get used to it, I mean, it is the manga standard
I can just read colored ones on PC if I feel like it
Eventually we will get a real color e-ink, but I can survive without one just fine
>He doesn't read colored manga
Peasant
>reading mango left to right
If it were not for the laws of this land, I would end your life.
The disadvantages are
>color pages
>very slow to zoom in if you ever have to
>higher price for equivalent product
But yeah e-readers are great otherwise.
You can on the ones that run android. Boox ones all run android, there's also boyue likebooks. Probably others too, but those are the two big ones I know of.
>very slow to zoom in if you ever have to
On Boox it works pretty fast. The main ostacle is that you aren't supposed to directly zoom into epubs so you fist have to press and hold to select the image that makes up the page and then zoom in that.
In third party apps zooming via double tap isn't that hard either.
You rarely have to zoom on a 13" panel to begin with. And there aren't many comparably sized LCD/OLED tablets. The price difference between a Boox Tab X and an iPad Pro or Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra isn't going to be an issue.
I'm talking about smaller devices, like 8 or 10 inch ones. A samsung galaxy s6 lite is about $300 while a boox note air 2 is almost $500
For proper manga reading you need 13" in 4:3 or 15" in 16:9.
Enjoy your screen lag, no color and your inflated price for a gimped device. I'll enjoy reading this on my variable 120hz Retina display, supporting millions of colors, downloading the file and opening it directly instead of having to do some cumbersome plugging and converting, and when I'm done I can keep using the tablet as a computer. Crazy concept huh
funny you talk about overpriced
anon paid 100 bucks for a handheld device made for reading books
you paid 1000 bucks for an oversized handheld device that is useless compared to a laptop... so you can read books
not helping your case there m8 lol
>reading manga
All I use it for and I love it for it
>viewing porn
Holding a tablet with one hand sounds annoying. Phone is better for both of those things.
Yeah, I agree. Don't know why people use tablets for porn. I'd argue even a laptop is less cumbersome for that in some ways.
Tablets are infinitely better for creating touchscreen interfaces in a retail environment
t. small business owner
Reading sheet music
Pretty much any situation where a laptop is too bulky, but a phone screen is too small.
Like, unless you install terminals in every room, a tablet is hard to beat for things like watching Youtube while you're cooking in the kitchen.
Depends on the tablet, really.
>worldwide market share
Completely irrelevant metric when 80% of people on earth are third worlder shit skins who will never own more than their android phone. Here in america, every kid wants a fucking ipad. I don’t think I know a single kid under 12 who doesn’t have ipad
Cope.
90% of those desktops are for businesses, not homes. And everyone has a phone. Thats still a huge market for tablets. Also check the source of your data, its useless
Cope.
>90% of those desktops are for businesses,
Yeah, business doesn't matter, because LULZ is unemployed ahahaha.
>desktops and laptops are counted as one
I wonder whether desktops or laptops are more popular.
Laptops by far, they are cheap and normies love them
pc's popularity is definitely tanking hard
normies don't really care about efficiency, they will trade it all for portability
even if they pay much more for it (see pajeetbooks)
Here's the actual cope, basically every tablet sold is an iPad and the default browser blocks statcounter
I thought so. Safari blocks these analytics by default.
How come iOS still appears here then?
I have no idea how they compile that, I just know my iPad literally tells me it's blocked statcounter in the past
Do most iToddlers really use Shitfari? I'd think even normies would know how to download Chrome.
Why would anyone even touch Chrome or any of its skins? All browsers on iOS use Safari's engine anyway.
Safari is the only browser on iOS with extensions support, meaning you can run LULZ X on it, so yes I use it.
It's also a perfectly fine browser unless you're an autistic toddler web developer who demands they have access to whatever half baked shit Google tried to force into the standards this week
Apple didn't ban extensions like everyone else? Even on Firefox you have to do some developer account signing bullshit like you're sideloading Symbian S60v3 games. How are Apple so based?
Extensions on iOS have to go through the app store, but there's a tampermonkey-compatible userscript extension that loads from icloud drive which can obviously run whatever arbitrary javascript you want
I was hyped when incredibles showed them
They still sell 10-20 million iPads a quarter, that doesn't seem very dead. Especially when there's no reason to buy a new one for 5 years
I predicted tablets would be irrelevant with bigger smartphones. The trend is now 60/40. I am at peace....
Phones grew up into tablets.
When the average "phone" is as big as a tablet was in 2013, why would anyone buy a tablet. I remember when phones with screens over 5" were called phablets. By that standard, tablets are more popular than ever.
To be fair, the bezels have gotten significantly smaller so a modern 6.2" phone is actually pretty small.
2% of billions of users is still a lot of users.
2in1s kill tablets
Are 2-in-1s laptops or tablets?
are what dead? -homosexual Zoomer born after 2003
Yes and that's a good thing.
My uncle uses his tables as a glorified smart home controller.
tablet*
It was a fad.
Corpofags use them to signal wealth and take handwritten memos. MS Paint for iOS is the killer app. That reading the financial review with ads.
Tablets are literally just Windows 98 PCs with a touchscreen and no mouse/keyboard.
Mostly. The only thing tablets were really good for was the iPad being good for drawing but AI killed drawing.
I use mine to read/browse in bed or in the kitchen. Other than that it's pretty useless. I fucking hate touch controls so much
LULZ is such a board of poorfags, lel
>b-b-but we never needed them anyway!
Is it coincidentally because LULZ is also The Pajeet Board? You naggers can't afford anything that's over $500, right? And none of you actually have tech jobs. That's why chinkphone threads are all the rage here these days
remember to thank androjeet for bringing 2bn thirders online
Aren't tablets using a desktop user agent nowadays? I know my iPad Pro does.
It's not a big market, phones have gotten big to the point where people consume media on them and for many kinds of work a laptop is still better. Most of them are over 10 inch, with few exceptions. Would be better to have more variety like before. My dad's been looking for something better than his Mi Pad 4 at the same size/weight but there's just fuck all.
Only boomers use them. Anyone else that is under 60 can use either a phone or a laptop.
