Sometimes it isn't helpful to be too good at being a 'late adopter' of new technology. Until recently I resisted tablets because they were overpriced and too redundant with a laptop. I just did not appreciate how much easier it is to relax with a tablet, while consuming media. I even relax better while reading books with the tablet, compared to using a handheld eBook device like Kobo or Kindle.
There is something about the keyboard of a laptop that makes me think I am working in an office. I have tried covering the keyboard with paper or something, in order to escape that overly serious mindset. But it didn't work.
Adding a separate keyboard to a tablet will virtually make it a laptop-replacement. But I resisted this. Let the tablet stay in relaxation mode! Let it maintain a separate personality.
It might be milking the act a little to say that the tablet has been 'transformative,' but it has.
In case you are wondering I bought a Samsung A9+ tablet for about $180, which came out the last year or so. I put it in a protective case that has a stand on the back, so the tablet doesn't need to be held in the hand, like a phone.
