It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

I know a ton of people who don’t own a “PC” anymore, and instead have a tablet with one of those keyboard covers as their largest home computing device.
I only know one person with an iPad. Total apple fan boy, watch, phone mac etc, I dont know one person with android tablet - all our students have windows laptops
You realize Microsoft has an entire line of business tablets right? Google Microsoft Surface, they’ve been around for many years.
I think your personal experiences may be biasing your thinking on this one.
Yes. My girlfriend once owned a surface. I know what google is. I was clearly giving a personal account, I didnt say 94% of all people worldwide dont use tablets. You realise that right? Do you realise that microsoft has a line of laptops too? And they make operating systems for dekstop PCs? You realise that right? That would be quite the statement if it meant anything. Nike have an entire line of shoes, but they sell shirts too? You realise that right?
The original question was “constant failures, but we can’t stop trying to make it work”
Tablets are clearly “working” already, they aren’t a failure as a product category in any way. Companies aren’t going bankrupt and cancelling lines of tablets to refocus on other products. They’re just part of a standard product mix these days.
Ok, so, you responded with anecdotal evidence to someone who said they think tablets are a failure, which I replied to with my own anecdotal evidence. At no point did I say I agree with tablets being a failure. I was just countering your anecdote with my own. You came back at me in a condescending manner. I’m allowed to post my personal observations without being treated like a stone age moron who has never heard of a surface or tablets. So I replied in kind.
You can argue all you want, but thats not going to change the statement, my initial statement “I dont know anyone with a tablet, except for one”, which is all I said.
Personally I think laptops are great for work, programming dealing with 200 emails, having 45 tabs open, and all bloody office apps across two screens at same time, but tablets, great with a cat on the lap on the sofa. Original marketing hype was that anything you can do on desktop you will be able to do on tablet. It’s just not true. And reality. They just smartphones with bigger screens. So from a certain pov, they can be considered a failure. Which in my world, is true.
