It's 2024 and things have definitely changed over the years. That being said, it certainly feels like computers and laptops in general are becoming a shell of what they use to be. I feel like tablets have certainly caught up over the years. So let's take a minute to think about it..... which one would you rather have? A laptop...or a tablet?

I don't know what this means.

They are computers like desktops and laptops. It's just a different form factor. Same with phones.

It's going to depend entirely on what you need to do. Different job, different tool. If I'll be typing a lot I don't want to deal with a tablet with some flimsy keyboard attachment that can't be adjusted like I need. If I need a big screen but don't need to type much I'd rather have a tablet than a bulky laptop.

I agree. Tablets are great for specific functions. If you have a handful of apps that you use on the regular that require very basic input, then they're great. (Basically, how you use a smartphone, but with a bigger screen.)

Laptops are good for doing a wider array of tasks.

Honestly, if you're trying to be as "agile" as possible - "Why not both"?
