gggiiimmmppp posted:the problem with convertibles is they need a table, you can't put them on your lap or on the bed or something and expect to use it like a laptop, the kickstand doesnt work well and the weight balance is all wrong Yeah, while it works a lot better for typing on my lap or in bed than I expected, it really can't beat a real laptop in that department.

I have an iPad mini with an old Zagg keyboard cover at work, gonna try and see if it's useful for hauling around to all the stupid meetings I have to go into these days. I got a Surface RT from work as well and tried to use it for the same thing but goddamn I hated that flat default keyboard cover. I do hear the Surface 3 kicks rear end though.

iPads are a great way to flaunt your wealth to the Kindle proletariat and for shitposting whilst taking a dump.

People making GBS threads on apple always makes me happy  Edit: Also don't use your iDevice with anything Exchange based because holy poo poo Apple spends no effort acting like the rest of the world exist. The worse headaches. Another reason they're toys for babbys

Friends and family can watch videos easier while gathered around the ipad instead of around your phone but I guess if you don't have any friends and nobody loves you then yeah an Android phone works just fine.

ZombieParts posted:When i first got it I found browsing to be really nice. The screen was much better than my laptop. So i thought "oooh I'll watch movies" but then I find out I have to convert every loving file I own in order to watch it on this thing and the screen is really too small to enjoy the movie. I had it set up next to the computer with my social networks poo poo running on it but it's usefulness fell to nothing before long so I sold it. You dumb motherfucker. You can download any file to it using VLC on your Desktop and it'll run any file using the VLC app on the iPad God drat no wonder everyone thinks they're poo poo

I bought a surface pro and it was the worst. Buy a lenovo yoga if you're thinking about a surface. Excel or any word processing will never be functional on a tablet.

I have to say I don't understand why Microsoft hasn't gotten on the portable device gravy train hardly. Like they've produced several products but they've sucked mostly. Like, make an app store for fucks sake. Make a dev kit and pay all the app guys to do a Microsoft version. Make your phone/pad sync with windows/office, make it corporate IT friendly, make your Versions cost less than apple and market it as an INTEGRATED SYSTEM and market it well. Not this half assed late to the party bs.

EVERYBODY uses windows, right? And every corporate IT department issues blackberries for years. Why didn't Microsoft buy blackberry and make a touch screen Windows phone, with a full app store, that was corporate IT friendly with blackberry's strong encryption, and market it by saying IPHONE AND ANDROID ARE FUN TOYS, HERE'S THE GROWN UP VERSION and then have people playing angry birds or watching Netflix in a suit as a wacky OUR PHONE DOES THE SAME poo poo tie in ad.
