I love my laptop. Had an tablet that served ok before the lappie, but not crazy about them.
Tablets, Love, Like Or HATE? That is the question....

Different strokes. I'm your basic meat and potatoes guy, so I suppose also being a desktop computer person is also logical. Before my 2nd generation iPad died, we most often used it as a TV guide. I applaud those that can do most everything they need to on the smart phone, tablet, etc., but I prefer a good old fashion desktop, well, most recently, all-in-one. With a recent update to macOS, I can even text with my desktop 
. For those on the go a lot, mobile units make more sense I suppose but, since I don't fall under that category, I'm more of a not on the go type, so the desktop is my system of choice .

And a landline and an inetrnet connection? A cell phone is no different than a landline and the cost now is about the same.

Spouse loves his tablet as he's a netflix/YouTube addict.
I use a desktop or laptop because I enjoy writing. A 35+yr career as an executive assistant means I type 80-95 wpm. I have never found a virtual keyboard which can keep up with that, so I don't like to use them.

Well I see this old thread has seen some new life. I fell out of love with the tablet I bought quite some time ago, I've been using my desktop mostly unless I'm in bed then I just use my phone. Probably if I'd bought a better tablet model, I might have liked it more; maybe. Anyway, I'm likely to make my next purchase a chromebook or some other type of portable pc gadget that's larger than my phone.
I'm giving myself a few months to decide exactly what I want to buy, I really don't spend enough time on the pc to be in too much of a hurry, but, I know I need to update before the year is out. I've been relying on this old desktop knowing she's gonna give at some point considering she's still running on the old windows platform and I don't up date such an old system, I rather at this point get a less bulky pc, just not so sure I want anything to do with a tablet unless it has a huge screen Well, like I said, I have time to do the research. nthego:

Just takes some getting used to. Sometimes I hate the touch technology, but I'm trying not to be a hater.
For me it takes a lot of getting used to. I find a stylus works better than my fat fingers.
