Tablets

What's the point of having a tablet when, seemingly, my Iphone can do anything that Mini can?

It's bigger and easier to navigate and read?

Back in the day, I got a Nook. Initially I used it like crazy. Took it everywhere.

At that time, I didn't have a smart phone.

When I finally caved in and joined the real world and grabbed a smart phone, I used it for everything.

Not sure I've touched the nook for more than 3 hours in the last 3 years.

Some people still use their tablets a ton but I think after the initial surge of use, a lot of people have them off to the side gathering dust.

Especially people with large screen smart phones.

Only way I see you using it a ton is if you actually use it for work.

And if that is true then you should be using a Surface Pro 3.

Sell me on buying a tablet

If I were traveling I would prefer to watch a movie on a tablet vs. a phone. I think the Phablets are returning Tablets to the luxury computing device category though. Nobody needs a tablet but there are certain situations where the larger screen is advantageous.

I bought a Surface 2 for under $300 on Amazon a month or so ago. I use my laptop almost exclusively as a desktop now, and I bring my Surface with me whenever I leave home. Has all of the Microsoft Office products if I need to do some work, has the keyboard cover if I am doing anything more than browsing, and the kickstand in the back is pretty convenient.

Mine's Wifi only, though, so I can't watch movies on the road or anything like that.

When I'm at home I'm always on my tablet instead of the phone (LG G3). Love the phone but why read, watch videos, surf the Internet on a smaller device.

Also I read a ton so it gets a lot of use.
