Re: But there is still little use for laptops.
I spend a few hours a week waiting for my daughters at various sporting events and the most useful tool I have is a little HP mini 210 which runs for 5 or 6 hours on batteries and fits between my belly and the steering wheel comfortably so when I'm stuck in the car up to a couple of hours I can get some work done. Its got a keyboard so it fucks off a tablet by several orders of magnitude. It only cost me £20. At home I live in a beanbag with an i7 8 core 17"laptop jobbie that I occasionally set screaming with some AI, stellar simulation or massive compilation.
I have yet to find a use for a tablet other than browsing that doesnt have me reaching for a laptop because its a far better experience if you're not just in receiving mode.
