Why would anyone ever buy a tablet?

I have my computer and phone, and it can do everything an iPad would do for me. I don't see why anyone would need an iPad.
>>
Not an iPad, but I got a cheap Android tablet for my car. It's a nice touchscreen console for most everything.
>>
Why would anyone need a bike?

I have shoes and a car and that does everything a bike does. I don't see any reason to get a bicycle.
>>
Literally to read manga while taking a shit

I enjoy reading and browsing the web on my iPad Air 2. I could do both on either my smartphone or PC yet I still decide to do it on my tablet, because it's more comfy.
>>
Why would anyone ever buy a couch?

I have my chair and floor, and it can do everything a couch would do for me. I don't see why anyone would need a couch.

Android tablets are fun. Android tablets with cellular and SIM card slots are even more fun. iPads are trash.
>>
>>54430619
Why would anyone ever buy high speed internet?

I have my AOL and dialup, and it can do everything a cable line would do for me. I don't see why anyone would need cable.

Yeah so I have a lot of cash money sitting in my wallet, and I've always been conservative with my money, but now I just want to be stupid for once like all the other people, and blow 250 bucks on an iPad mini.

I still have to justify to myself why I would need one.
>>
My grandma cracked her ipad screen so gave it to me. It's pretty good for manga like the other anon said, but I prefer an android phone for browsing the web. Especially since ipads still don't support webms.
>>
tablets are probably better for general computing purpose for normies, than a desktop or laptop. if all you do is surf the web, go on facebook, some email, etc (95% of normies do just that) then a tablet is the best option for you.

It's just a fashion accessory for homos and women.

I fucking hate the way the android software looks like.

Why would anyone want their own son?

I have my Wife and my Wife's son, and he can do anything my real son could. I don't see why anyone would need their own son.

That being said Tablet PCs are still pretty good. They're ultra portable and most have stylus input which is pretty cool.

I think eventually only tablet PCs and desktops will be left soon.
>>
>>54430719
Probably just a matter of preference. Android having a global cancel/go back button at the bottom of the screen is just too nice, so I can't stand using ipads since they don't have that.
>>
>>54430619
you jsut answered your own question

there's a reason their sales are tanking

>>54430719
Better than iOS on tablets.

>>54430698
I wouldn't care about ''mini'' versions of tablets if you already own a decent phone. Besides that, my iPad lies around the shitter most of the time and I spend 550 jewros on it. Still didn't regret buying it, it gets lots of use, especially since I enjoy shitting.
>>
>>54430698
Blow 40 bucks on a Kindle Fire instead
>>
>>54430665
this, plus it's pretty comfy to watch movies when traveling thanks to the God-tier battery life. Think of it as a computer more portable than a laptop. Not everyone needs one and it's okay if you don't, it's not indispensable like for example a phone.

I'm probably too much of a coward to spend that much money at once anyway.

watching porn in my bed
or reading muh manga when i wake up

like hosting a music dlna server

Haha why? Keep in my that you don't upgrade tablets as often. I bought my Air 2 almost two years ago and I have absolutely zero reason to upgrade. Apple didn't even need to release a successor and just released a smaller version of the iPad Pro.

Spending around 500 bucks for 4-5 years of use doesn't seem like a bad investment. Also if you buy apple products, you could still get a decent chunk of money back, when you decide to sell it.

You can't hold and touch a laptop like you can hold and touch a tablet, that was why they became popular in the first place. Though in the present day convertibles and surface-like devices are taking a bigger slice of the pie.

Basically if you feel like you need a larger iphone, then you're looking for an ipad.

>>54430785
Because they don't need to be upgraded every year or two like phones? I know a guy who still uses a first gen ipad with no complaints.
>>
>>54430619
watching Red Dwarf when on public transport

That's actually pretty impressive. I know people using iPad 2s but I keep hearing that the originals are just useless at this point.

I second that.

Nah, the first iPad is a mess. My mother's iPad 2 is still handling things fine.I use it from time to time when I'm over and I gotta admit that it's fairly usable.
>>
I have an Android tablet laptop hybrid.

And a custom built desktop.

All my bases are covered and I did not compromise a damned thing.
>>
>>54431753
You use proprietary software. You compromised your conscience.

>>54430735
Underrated post.

Sometimes you don't need the power of a notebook, just the comfyness of a tablet.

Tablets are comfy af. If you had a good tablet you should know.

I use mine in the couch or bed all the time. 50% I also take it to my classes instead of my notebook because all I need is to read some pdf and web browsing.
>>
>>54431002
I have an old ipad from back in the day and can confirm that yes, it is completely useless right now

can't update to the newer operating systems which means that it can't install new apps, and straight up the old youtube app doesn't work and the browser doesn't support videos so there is no way to watch videos on the device, it's almost comical it's so bad right now

kinda thinking about getting a tablet but to be honest, I like taking notes in class on paper, I like reading books on paper, and tablets just end up being harder to use than laptops for everything else so I really can't find a reason to do it except for lightweight normie stuff as mentioned above
>>
>>54430619
They are pretty neat bro.

I like just laying of my back in bed shitposting on 4chin from my iPad Air 2. And whenever I get horny I just go to my bookmarked porn stream and pop out my dick and go to town. Also good reading material for when I have to go for a shit.

And before you guys start spewing memes, I can objectively say that the iPad btfos any and all android tablets.
