1237469 2011-10-14 07:05:00 Hiya, just like to get an idea of those who use tablets (non tablet laptops). Or are you ok with a cellphone instead? WLAN, 3G and do you use the tablet often?

I am doing a course at uni, most times I don't take my ultraportable 12", and prefer to use the campus computers with their 19 or 22 inch which fits a MS Word doc 2 pages side/side. And a 1.6kg does weight a fair bit proportionally of all the stuff you carry, plus your books etc. And a cellphone can be frustrating at times - surfing the web.

PS. What size are your tablet? The standard 10" or the smaller ones?


Cheers.

1237471 2011-10-14 09:21:00 Yeah I've totally ditched my laptop, just sold it, never use it now I have a tablet. I love it! So much lighter, plus the Gorilla Glass takes a beating ...

Jobs was right though, 10". Anything smaller isn't really big enough to be as productive. 10" is a good size.

1237472 2011-10-14 23:39:00 I see since the introduction of the tablet, net book sales are down 40%. Cicero (40)
1237473 2011-10-15 00:40:00 Yeah doesn't surprise me, especially with the likes of the Asus Transformer, there's bugger all incentive to get yourself a Netbook these days... Chilling_Silence (9)
1237474 2011-10-15 00:50:00 i can see that some notebooks are still needed - real work.

and for netbooks unless you are really into the MS or Adobe software. i gather most people just it for casual use.

other than maybe that the netbooks cost less @ $400.

1237475 2011-10-15 03:41:00 Notebooks perhaps, but not Netbooks. They're largely superseded IMO!
You *dont* buy a Netbook and then expect to use Photoshop on it. That's just retarded.
