Will tablets replace laptop computers?

@kwb2977,

never tablets are just about an entertaining thing where you enjoy 2D animation video, songs, and some other work but the laptop used in many business, art, animation type of work.

The only reason I got a Tablet was simply because it was instant booting up. The laptop (not new) takes several minutes to get up n running, and even then the connection is a real pain in the butt and I didn't want to pay more money just on the off-chance that it might improve connectivity. The Tablet is my new best friend. At 76 I figure it has enhanced my life. I still have to use the laptop at times, but the Tablet is just so handy, and not as expensive as I thought. 😊

Tablets can never become substitute for laptops as tablets can perform a certain level task and they can not be further extended by that level so need of laptops and computers will always remain in market and in industry.

Tablets can never replace laptops in my opinion as tablets are not that much user friendly in case when you have to use them for long time or want to have some work done.

I think they already have in some ways where you have to move a lot while working but for heavy duty work laptops still rules.

Not really, tablets can be used for mobility but still, laptops have more market share.

Large screen, heavy memory units will eventually eliminate full size computers. I have only used a phablet since since 2012 sold my laptop and desktop off. Perhaps more of a split tail preference because of pocket book but many men have pocket books now

I think old fashioned personal computers will continue to exist as office workstations. For example, Boeing engineers won't be designing their next passenger jet on phablets.

And I think Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo type consoles will continue to be sold to gamers, with newer better generations of consoles continuing to be developed in the future.

But I agree that for ordinary web browsing and email, phablets are going to displace all larger devices.

The time when that may happen is several generations down the road from the lineage of the Surface Studio 2. Then again, they're neither tablets or phablets but a third kind of hybrid.

I think tablets have failed, squeezed out between bigger phones and lighter laptops. The next big thing will be Internet only laptops like the Chromebook. My daughter wanted a Chromebook for school and for one third of the cost, she got a really nice "laptop" that is light weight and does everything she needs to do. All her school apps are online, so she only needs a good Internet connection and a good graphics card. That's probably true for most of us who want to watch a movie, surf and maybe pay bills online.

@engineer,

Wouldn't a phablet do everything that a Chromebook can do, with greater portability and convenience?

If it isn't a gaming rig, why would a graphics card be needed?

I need a good keyboard for pretty much anything I do on a laptop; and quality matters.

I think a full-size stable keyboard with real keys is the main thing you give up on a phablet (assuming, cpu power, multi-threading performance, ports, RAM and hard disk storage aren't important to you).

If you need a good keyboard and quality matters, you need a desktop.

I think that desktop personal computers will survive as office workstations. Like I said, Boeing engineers won't be designing their next passenger jet on phablets.

Can a tablet replace your laptop? We used an iPad for three months to find out. ... Productivity is considered the domain of desktops and some laptops, while tablets are used as consumption devices. Or rather, that's the assumption many make.

No, not at all. There are too many limitations of Tablets. But they increase connectivity.
