but good luck trying to figure out how to DRAG AND DROP GODDAMN VIDEO FILES

2017-02-19 15:57:19 UTC  

otherwise it would have been the best tablet choice

2017-02-19 16:15:27 UTC  

I keep thinking about a tablet but then I pass up the idea.

2017-02-19 16:22:31 UTC  

what will you use it for?

2017-02-19 16:22:40 UTC  

there's a reason tablet sales are sinking

2017-02-19 16:22:47 UTC  

people cant find a good reason to use them

2017-02-19 16:22:58 UTC  

only old people use them to check their emails and to watch memes on youtube

2017-02-19 16:23:07 UTC  

and kids to play tappity tap games

2017-02-19 16:23:27 UTC  

but i assume you're an intelligent person who goes on /g/ and thus cannt fathom why anyone would use such a simplified device

2017-02-19 16:23:35 UTC  

it's essentially just another screen

2017-02-19 16:24:06 UTC  

iPad sales are pretty ok, its just Android sales that are low

2017-02-19 16:24:26 UTC  

iPad sales because aple is a meme and their customers are a part of a cult

2017-02-19 16:24:46 UTC  

Android tablets dont sell because the OS is simply not good for tablets

2017-02-19 16:24:57 UTC  

feels like using a huge phone

2017-02-19 16:25:03 UTC  

ChromeOS will hopefully change this

2017-02-19 16:25:13 UTC  

why would it

2017-02-19 16:25:20 UTC  

i can find multiple uses for proper tablet

2017-02-19 16:25:27 UTC  

sadly their performance is shit

2017-02-19 16:25:32 UTC  

so no "proper" there yet

2017-02-19 16:25:37 UTC  

is there a tablet with limux? gnome seems pretty good for tablets?!

2017-02-19 16:25:41 UTC  

ChromeOS is a more suitable OS for bigger screens

2017-02-19 16:26:05 UTC  

you can instal ubuntu on most X86 tablets afaik ?

2017-02-19 16:26:07 UTC  

with proper touch and keyboard support and think it will go great

2017-02-19 16:26:24 UTC  

what multiple uses can you find with tablets

2017-02-19 16:26:26 UTC  

im curious

2017-02-19 16:26:50 UTC  

media devices for home automation (As control point)

2017-02-19 16:27:07 UTC  

like its way nicer to web browse, watch movies, jewtube and stuff than on a phone

2017-02-19 16:27:14 UTC  

with a small screen

2017-02-19 16:27:24 UTC  

work tool (As my phone now is for multiple fields from security testing to 3D editing to food recipes)

2017-02-19 16:27:49 UTC  

proper replacement for netbooks if they they had more performance

2017-02-19 16:28:14 UTC  

their light weight and formfactor make them idylic for carry-around stuff

2017-02-19 16:28:29 UTC  

also proper games(when they get proper performance) not those shitty android ones

2017-02-19 16:28:45 UTC  

I figure I would want a tablet for reading, because ereader screens annoy me.

2017-02-19 16:28:46 UTC  

think along stuff like rimworld or oxygen not included

2017-02-19 16:28:58 UTC  

Still not a big enough reason to use one.

2017-02-19 16:29:39 UTC  

also for those moments when you cant be arsed to open computer to check some webpage/weatcher/stuff

2017-02-19 16:29:46 UTC  

>ereader screen annoys you

2017-02-19 16:29:47 UTC  

??????

2017-02-19 16:29:51 UTC  

w-w-what?

2017-02-19 16:30:24 UTC  

for people who lurk on their desktop computers 24/7 its no use as they have already proper datahub there

2017-02-19 16:30:41 UTC  

but for people who dont use computers that much (still many people these days)
