Tablet PCs!?!?!

| | Comments (7)

Ughhh. I remember a few years ago, or more recently, that Tablet PCs got into the news (again?). "Its the wave of the future. No need for desktops or laptops anymore." Those aren't actual quotes, but I wouldn't say they were for from the thoughts at the time.

What type of function-void were they meant to fill? What was so special about them that you would use them instead of a PDA? I've never seen even one in my entire life. At the moment, I think they are nothing more than an overpriced novelty.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a site that hosted a petition that asked Apple to make a tablet Mac. Don't get me started on that...

Yes, the so-called Chinese Apes must be thanked for whatever it is they did.

Maybe he meant:

"Thank you;
Signed, Chinese Apes."

As in, he's a chinese ape, and he's saying "thank you."

In other news: you know what function-void taplet PC's are here to fill? the "your-current-laptop-monitor-cannot-swivel-around-on-a-pivot" void -- what else!

i was looking at buying one of those tablet pcs. for the sole purpose of the novelty. then i looked at how much more the novelty would cost than a regular laptop and i said "NEIN"

Thank you! Chinese Apes.

I think the 'Chinese Apes' poster is a spammer. I checked around and the exact phrase appears on many other blog's comment's sections. Luckily for me, his link doesn't work on mine.

yeah, but for the other 96% of wintel computer users, it does.
