Anyone trade their laptop for a tablet?

11-28-2017, 05:00 PM

I have a laptop I use occasionally if am traveling and need to work or over the GF's and working etc. It's always worked fine, but its starting to get a little old and I'm thinking about getting a new one. I have thought about just getting a tablet and a Bluetooth keyboard for it. MS Office has mobile apps I can use for work stuff.

Has anyone done this? If so, how was it if you had to work for a while? My worry is that the screen will be too small if I end up working for several hours. Also, if you did do this, what type of tablet did you go with?

I like to use a tablet to quickly check statistics, emails, news, etc. But computers are irreplaceable for developers, Android is too restrictive for coding and editing photos and videos.

why you don't get a Chromebook? for example a acer 14 or asus - is a cheap, 10-12h battery and you work much faster than tablet.

That's an idea. Right now I have a 17 inch laptop and it is kind of big to take with me. I want to downsize so maybe a small chromebook would work for me.

I don't think a tablet replaces a laptop, its just a tool to use with it, I take both on holiday, laptop for the room and tablet to carry around.

I look for the newest out of china, running windows 10 and always use with wireless mouse

Bought at least 10 over the years thinking that but always end up giving it away because I don't ever use them. My 2.5yo is using the latest after destroying 3 of the cheap kid versions.

I have a full PC for work, and a Laptop for downstairs, but for traveling.... I use a Microsoft Surface. It's a tablet that is a full PC. I use the Surface at home as a tablet, but also have it hooked up to a monitor at it's own work station. It's great for traveling - small, take it on the airplane, etc.....

This is my Surface in my master bedroom - that's the Surface on the right, and a monitor hooked up on the left.

Yes -- a 10" and and 8" much less weight and bulk. Good excuse not to do any serious work when I travel

I bought an Asus Chromebook 2 months ago to replace my 15" HP craptop. I will never, ever go back.

The Chromebook is fast, super lightweight, small (but not too small), cool, and drop-dead silent (no fans). Touchscreen if I need it. Backlit keyboard. Amazing battery life. Folds into a tablet format if I want it (which I never do). And Chromecast is the greatest invention ever for watching porn, Youtube, etc.

Best of all... no Windoze.

I use it constantly and love it more than anything I've ever used -- other than my self-built desktop machine.

This is the one I bought.
Amazon.com: ASUS Chromebook Flip C302 with Intel Core m3, 12.5-Inch Touchscreen, 64GB storage and 4GB RAM: Computers & Accessories

I narrowed it down to that one and the top-of-the-line Samsung. The Asus won (for me) because I wanted the backlit keyboard.

I love my macbook air, there are lots of windows laptops the same size / weight these days. I find my tablet isn't very useful for work.

That looks great. I'm curious what you think about the weight of it. It is very light for a laptop, but part of the reason I was thinking about a tablet was that I also want to use it an E-reader (like a kindle). I could use this for that, but I wonder if it would get heavy trying to hold it up like a book.

Yeah, it's light, but not that light. You'll get tired pretty quick if you aren't resting it on something.

The plain b/w Kindles are perfect for reading, portability, glare, etc.

I skip between both. But nothing beats laptop on things like spreadsheets.
