NoNewTaleToTell: Speaking of tablets, is there any reason to buy a tablet instead of a cheap laptop/netbook? I know a few people who've bought them and after the initial "I've got a tablet! Cool!" stage is over, they almost never use them because they have laptops.
A tablet is much easier to take with you and take out in a bus, or use in e.g. airport or in your bed. And tablets generally have far better battery life too than laptops. So I feel tablets also have their time and place, but everyone has to make their mind whether they can already do all those tablet things on e.g. their smartphone.
But I still can't get accustomed to seriously using a tablet for e.g. writing to forums, like writing this message. It still just feels much more cumbersome than on a laptop, all the copying and pasting of text around, or even the writing part (which the physical keyboard of TF101 helps quite a lot, though). I've sometimes read e.g. GOG forums on the tablet and thought about replying to some message, but then decided to wait until I get home to my PC (laptop).
But for merely browsing and reading web sites, tablets are quite nice, and sometimes even preferable to opening and starting up the laptop.
It used to be also before that anything you did on a tablet, you could do also, and even better, on a PC/laptop. But nowadays I'm unsure, now tablets and smartphones seem to have gotten many (mostly social) apps that don't appear at all on PC/Windows. In fact, I feel that if Facebook was invented today, it would probably be Android/iOS-only, no access from a Windows PC.
