@louie Tricky question. I’ve chosen tablet because I love my iPad(s) but I am actually thinking of Surface Pro where there can be a full, desktop OS running on it.
I know it’ll never happen in the Apple ecosystem but I rather like the tablet form factor + desktop OS combination regardless.
(And I’d just stick it in a keyboard case and make it a laptop, anyway. Does that count as cheating?)
@lensco For iPad’s entire existence, it’s had this *theoretical potential* to replace computers, but it still doesn’t manage to actually do it because it lacks the tools to make things for itself.
I think that’s what continues to make a traditional computer still the best.
@louie Something like a PinePhone that I could plug a keyboard/mouse/monitor into and have laptop-esque functionality at home, but stick in my pocket when it's time to go? I'm good with that.
My wife wrote a book ON HER PHONE. Mostly-bog-standard Android. She wants a desktop to do the final upload on, but the writing and the editing? ON. Her. PHONE. Amazing what you can do with these little things.
