laptop pa rin. ang bigat din ng tablet nakakangalay lalo na pag matagal ka mag facebook.

Laptop pa din... watching movies on a tablet, the tablet eventually gets heavy in the hands kasi you need to help it up while watching. Using a laptop, just sit and watch. Comfortable.

Typing (like email or writing a document) is also easier on a laptop.

what kind of question is this? there's no contest since they are used for different purposes.

Overall. If you have to own either a tablet or laptop.

Why the question? It's because many so-called experts have said the end of the laptop has come with the arrival of the tablet and I do not agree with that statement.

agreed, the laptop is not going anywhere soon. if i can do my development work using just my ipad i would but tablets are so limited with what you can do with them right now. heck, im still getting frustrated with my ipad and the way Apple tries to make their platform suitable for idiots with too much hand-holding.

I haven't been using my laptop since I bought an ipad 2 yrs ago. The ipad has a lot longer battery life than any laptop. It does not get hot in extended use. There are ipad cases that will make it stand on its own so I can watch movies without having to hold it in my hands. When I'm in bed already and suddenly thought of something and I need to get online, it's easier and less tiresome to use the ipad than a laptop. Its instant on ability also makes it faster for me to access the net.

Of course for other uses, a laptop will definitely be superior to the ipad. But for me, I'm never getting another laptop.

none, both are used for different purpose. it's like choosing between a sedan and an suv or a luxury car and a sports car.

tablet will never beat the laptop for heavy stuff. i would not want to do heavy spreadsheet work on a tablet, too time consuming. but for mobility, then tablet trumps the laptop.

photo editing, autocad still has limitations on the tablet but most of the time i only surf and download from *******s, so mas mataas usage ng tablet ko ngayon kaysa laptop
