Comment on Ask HN: Has the iPad Won the Tablet Wars?parent

Comments

I have like a gazillion computers (desktops, laptops, tablets, phones). There’s the right time and place for everything. It’s just that tablets are perfect for consumption (reading books, comics, web pages, videos, …).

I was very skeptical in the past. Surely I wouldn’t need a “toy” like that. Then I got one from my employer (not even a good one) and it really blew me away, especially in comparison to the convertible laptop I had. Yes it’s “just a big phone” but that’s just the magical thing. It’s always on, it has a big screen and is rather lightweight. Battery lasts basically forever. What’s not to like? Laptops on the couch? In bed even? Small phone screens? No thanks.
