Are Tablets the new netbooks?

Just wondering....:hmm:

Yes.

 

[rudeguy]

the forum is wrong

 

[zerocool84]

Yes.

No not really. They can replace them for some people but there's still a lot you can do on a netbook that you can't do on a tablet.

I assumed he meant that it was the device that people are starting to replace their laptops with for serious portability. Not comparing specs.

No. Netbooks were all about a race to the bottom.

I replaced my laptop with a phone.

I'm still waiting for a tablet to offer something my phone doesn't besides a bigger screen, higher price and less portability.

I'm sorry, I like keyboards too much.

But you guys can have fun with your tablets.

If they are all like the iPad, no thanks.

What's wrong with the iPad?

Nothing, people have an irrational hatred because of its success.

Its actually quite disgusting.

Agreed.

Which is why people hate Android as well.

I dislike the interface more than anything. And IIRC it's not a widescreen display which is pretty shitty because it has a beautiful screen.

And, no I'm not some Apple hater.

Bizzare, the interface is what sold it to me, but to each his own...

this. i opted for a netbook over a tablet. i use it often enough for it to be worth it. my smartphone acts as my tablet, more or less

kinda wish i got in on the nook @ $200 the other day, but i didnt need to spend the money.

PC's and laptops are actually on their way out, tablet/smart phone combos are going to take their place. Everyone is going to eventually carry one around like a wallet that carries their "Internet presence". They'll connect wirelessly to larger screens at workstations and to TV's when needed.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Yes. I'd rather use my laptop over a netbook if I needed to do anything productive. And I'd rather have a tablet over a netbook for casual stuff.
