Laptops Vs. Computer Tablets...

I guess it depends on what you want to do, right? ._. I honestly am someone who has no clue about tablets.. (can you even stick a CD into one?) but I guess like.. make a list of what you want to use it for, and then like.. make a list of how it may or may not be more convenient to you?
Let us know what you end up getting! Sorry I can't be more help. I'm pretty interested in finding out some more info too <3

Put a CD into one....:laugh: This is not the 90's, bro.

JK. I like your list idea.

If you have mp3's and other digital media, you'll do fine with this. But for full featured tablets like the ModBook Pro and other ones in the Windows department , they could most likely have them. By the time they give CD capability to tablets, they will have became extinct. It's not like CDs have an equivalent value like vinyls ,which can be used for a variety of purposes than a CD which can be a drink coaster.

Current mobile tablets are basically like netbooks. Several manufacturers are planning on upgrading the CPU - http://www.itproportal.com/2011/11/30/samsung-lenovo-acer-planning-quad-core-tablets/

There are full-featured tablets - convertible computers: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/laptops/thinkpad/x-series-tablet

The latter costs more, but has all the features of a standard laptops. Hope this helps.

Sure the tablets have all the features of them , but they lack in mobility. That's why you rarely see them anywhere because those tablets weigh and cost a ton. IN some of them, touch capability is retarded or dashed aside due to lack of support save for ones that run on Wacom's technology. It's the problem that the operating systems aren't touch friendly and lets say they put that into the tablet like they have with the ExoPC. It could catch on, and with work on mobilizing the powerful components for on to go use.

We cna already see this trend in the Prime tablet since it offers business capabilities. Let's look 10 years ahead. Aside from the optional keyboard, it will give the power of the laptop into tablets, where I can see the latter iPads and Primes being like the Mac and Windows of the future. We already see support of office apps for the portable platform and once the portable platform gets powerful enough, it will allow for artistic and business purposes and revolutionize the industry. Desktops are becoming more and more useless, that's a given fact , save for their capability to buckle assloads of limitless power that laptops can dream of, they will reside merely as gaming consoles and niche items and for the older set of peoples and the really young.

There's like a HUGE trend in kids today like how we were raised behind the monitors of the computer, this generation now and ahead will be immersed in the portable tablet world whilst the educational world struggles to play catch up and integrates them for practical use. Not only is it eco-friendly but if its all online and mobile , it makes it easier for everyone save the old man in the corner who knows nothing of it.

Not about computers, but the switch to digital music is incredibly sad.

To me, it's a double edged sword. It's good that with services like iTunes and AmazonMP3 which preserve the buying records from their services so if you lose the songs locally, they will still have them on their servers to download. In the past ,companies pretty much said "**** you. Buy more CD for moar dowaa!!!"in the past if you lost the copy and if you wanted free music, you had to use your tapes.

On the flipside, if they have DRM, it extremely limits to how you use the music unless you know the feature in iTunes where you can convert it and get around the DRM.

Unless you mean the digitization and artificialness that is modern music, which I agree with you makes it sound the same. But overall, we the consumers have more freedom in how we use our bought music than what the industry wants us to do. It's not like the artists get any money from them.

DRM and Region games are pointless , counterproductive to the consumer and in some cases should be against the law. They might as well give up and have no DRM on anything anyways as you can never stop the ingenuity and curiosity of the human minds who crack them and because it is a waste of money. Region encoding only prompts a market of pirated black market releases of films and shows that have no such thing and or internet piracy.

Do you know how many really know about these procedures and how to get them? At most, 10%.

With that said, these companies are only digging a hole for themselves by not exploiting a world's worth of profit rather than a region's worth. Globalization is where its at.

I'm mostly concerned about mixing. There have been a lot of albums optimized for iPods and the like, but don't sound as good on a good system as a proper mix would. That and I fear everything would be 'remastered' by compressing the **** out of it and making it louder.

:/

Sadly I am just now learning what a fucking Tablet is.

I wasn't watching regular tv for over a year now, just downloading old shows and watching on my comp. But I got a new cable provider and I am seeing these fucking things on every show.

So you don't read the online news on tech or any of that? Kinda hard to miss it on the web, given they advertised the helluva out of them online too.
:laugh:

It's ok. Once you stop paying attention to the TV, you pretty much lose touch with a ton of things . Ask me. I don't know crap about the local news or international as I have had.

I don't really keep up to date on tech stuff either way. I'm still just baffled by this because it's like me not watching tv and never hearing about PS3 coming out. :laugh:

I jest at that, but don't worry. There are people out there who don't know what a computer or a book is.

Lack in mobility? We have a lenovo laptop/tablet at work and it's very portable and mobile. Are you an IT professional?
