so you can stare at that colorful liquid

I already have a lava lamp though

For middle aged women to play candy crush on the sofa all day

ARM tablets really have no reason to exist. x86 tablets on the other hand can do anything a normal PC can do. I use a Surface Pro with Debian.

So I can read my mango on a nice big screen while on the bus to work.

I use one as a music player and portable tv when I want to watch something my wife doesn't but we still share the living room and each other's company

This, bought my mom a 10in Lenovo and she uses it entirely for farming games

Better on her tablet than Facebook I'd say

Not much point when phones soon are just as large

so that i have a portable device that is larger than a phone but smaller than a laptop.

Duh.

For POV fapping

Mine is a drawing tablet and a Youtube machine.

slightly more energy efficient and portable lava lamp

Reading PDFs and Manga.
Nothing else.

Samsung Tab S3/4 and iPad with pencil: for drawing and note taking.

I use a Surface Pro during meetings for note taking but might consider switching to an S4 if there are decent art programs.
Can't use an iPad because file system is bonkers

Manga.

holy shit, is it that common?

all of the tablet (mi pad 4) posts i see on csg mention that they bought it for manga

fapping to doujinshi on a tablet is pretty good too, my nexus 7 is a slow piece of shit now though, im itching to get something faster

same you'd do with a pc
debian supports arm though

This, my mom plays casino games and Candy Crack Saga all day on hers, I built her this bad-assticle i5-powered Fujitsu tablet with SSD, Nvidia graphics, 1080p display and a shit ton of RAM for her photography and all she does is play those stupid farming games on it. Could do that on a C2D. So much wasted potential

Watching porn on a big display.

Tablets are Boomer Tech imo. I never see anyone else using them besides maybe kids with their Amazon ones their parents gave them so they'd stfu.

if kids are using them then they aren't boomer tech

I use it to jerk off on my bed

Browsing on my iPad Pro right now senpai :)

I'm considering the current iPad Pro, it looks good for a digital sketchpad and seems to have price parity with its competitors. I've never owned a tablet or any Apple iProducts, previously I've done all my digital art on a Cintiq at my desk.

Anyone who's used one for drawing, I'd appreciate your opinion on it.

the absolute state of this board. I bet you’ll spend >$1000

I used to have a Nexus 9 to play shitty games with a controller when away from home because my laptop can't handle anything more than Rocket League at low settings, it literally had burn marks on the back because it ran hot as fuck so I gave it to my sister who needed a tablet for zoomer high school shit. Then I got a Samsung Tab S 10.5, used it to take handwritten notes in math instead of having to fumble with shitty programs on my laptop and the screen was nice for watching stuff in bed too, then one night I accidentally sent it flying when flipping over my blanket.

99.999999% of ARM devices don't support debian.

I bought a Samsung Tab for Black Friday on sale. It was useless. I couldn't even get whatsapp (g/f uses it to talk to me) to work due to no cellular. Google voice doesn't work on it either. I played some SNES ROMs, and it was fun, but I could just as well do that on a laptop, desktop, or my Raspberry Pi RetroPi setup.

Tablets are a meme.

my wife uses it to browse pinterst and amazon garbage apps. I got her a shitty 7inch tablet because she fucking breaks all tech i buy her. now its only gonna cost me $30 when she breaks that

web browsing mostly
one use case seems like being able to browse the web while standing up on a large display (laptop isn't comfortable without a table or sitting, phone screen is too small)
if it's got a pen, drawing too

but yeah, it mostly does less than my phone and the only advantage is extra screen size

I use a 2-in-1 so that I can do digital art without having to use a graphics tablet, since graphics tablets are disorienting due to not drawing on the same thing you're looking at

living room device for when you're not watching the tv what your wife is

but what about webms?

For women, carrying a tablet around is not an issue, because they take their purses everywhere anyway, and that's also where they keep their phones. So for them it's just a bigger, more comfortable phone and I don't understand why no company made an effort to target them in their advertising. Especially when many of them don't even need a laptop anymore.

This + Netflix 2bh. Don't you want to make your mom happy?

I use one for mapping and marking geophysical/geological indicators and navigating in the middle of nowhere with zero cell service.

I got one for textbooks and taking notes, it's wonderful

>prior to tablets
>whoa wouldn't it be cool to have tablets like in all those sci-fi movies?!

>tablets exist
>lmao who would want to use a tablet they're for old people lol

Drawing on the go. Paid 250$ for a M5 Lite, stylus included. Pretty happy with it.

Confy manga/comic/magazine reader.

do all wawei mediapads come with an active digitizer screen? how do I know which is which?

I enjoy my iPro for making lecture notes or studying. In general I'm much faster with them than I'm with paper and it's more easy to organize.

Plus doing practise problems on them are a nice way too.

>i built a tablet
What now?

I use my iPad instead of a laptop a large majority of the time because my workflow when I'm not at home at my desktop pretty much only consists of writing documents in Google Docs and taking handwritten notes with the stylus.

The tablet is way more portable and the aspect ratio is much nicer than the 16:9 on laptops. A tablet is also way better than a laptop if you're reading a lot, especially for PDF documents.

The M5 and M5 Lite do. Depending on country they have the pen included too.

But others are staring your hentai.

I have an old Galaxy Tab that I use exclusively to watch shit outside or in the garage while i smoke cigars and have some drinks, since I have kids and don't want to smoke in the house. Otherwise not much use.

(Tried using it for shit like Hearthstone and other simple games realized very quickly that games destroy the battery very fast.)

hentai reader in my bed

i use my nexus7 to watch stuff in bed and to while working on my car/ bike (as endoscope-monitor, obdII-scanner) want to upgrade to a 10" but there are no cheap ones I know of

Anything I'd do on a mobile when outside I'll do on a tablet when sat at home and don't want to use a laptop.
Controlling various media devices.
Controlling lights.
Viewing PDFs.

Not if you sit in the last row

And this

Reading manga in bed is comfy

Yes I will :)

I got a fairly decent HP 2-in-1 from Best buy for around $400-$500

I use my iPad Pro for:
>watching porn in bed
>drawing in Procreate
>animating in RoughAnimator
>playing music (really good speakers)
>reading manga (perfect display size and ratio)

I thought I won't use it much but now I use it more than my phone which I now use only for messaging and checking news

Manga and hentai reader for the bed.
My phone is barely turned on anyway.

Check 4chin while in the shitter.
Watch porn in bed.

Dude when retina displays were new, watching 4k porn on an iPad was the coolest shit ever

Easier on the eyes
