I'm a pretty tech-savvy person, and I genuinely like computers.
I'm mostly a Linux guy, when it comes to computers, but I have Windows laptops and also several Macbooks.
Of course, I'm into mobile computing. We have iPhones, Android phones and Windows Phones in the house. Strangely, while I usually hate anything to do with Microsoft, I really like the Windows Phones, and so does my wife (even though she's a Mac person otherwise).
We also have several tablets - nobody in my house likes the iPad, but we do like our Android tablets and I have a Windows 8 tablet too (the Thinkpad Tablet 2). I really like them for browsing, playing games, watching shows etc, but they're not great for participating in the forums, where typing is necessary.
I actually think it's very easy to type on the Thinkpad tablet, but there's no orientation at which I like typing on the screen. I have considered getting a keyboard cover for it, but have resisted, as I already have laptops, so what's the point?
Anyway, I noticed that my participation in the forums dropped once I started really using my tablets, showing me that they're not ready to completely replace my laptops.
Anyone else have this attitude to tablets?
