I don’t even get the purpose of tablets… Like “let’s buy a computer that’s slightly smaller than a laptop that isn’t upgradable and has the functionality of a cell phone, but without telephony”
Get a laptop or a cell phone… Unless you work in some niche industry where you can’t have devices with fans and need to be running Windows, it makes no sense
That’s a very narrow-minded view. I thought the same thing when the iPad was new. But I changed my mind.
Sitting on the sofa and watching movies or reading news is a good application, a laptop is too clunky for that, and a phone screen is too small.
Also use as an air-navigation device (not only) light aircraft, and replacement for paper charts in airline operations. There are many legitimate uses where tablets are exactly what you want. If it’s not for you, fine.
It’s not for everyone but I love it. It’s thin and doesn’t weigh much plus it’s got great battery. Perfect for drawing or reading when curled up on the couch.
Plus watching movies on an airplane is easier when you don’t have a keyboard in the way.
I don’t prefer it, but my iPad mini fits in my back pocket and I can use it a lot for work stuff on the fly. Wish it had a keyboard, but I don’t want to spend the money.

A tablet isn’t a work device its first and foremost a consumption device.
If your work is exclusively done on keyboards, sure.
I do a ton of sketching, note taking, and planning using my apple pencil.
