I own not a tablet; indeed my trusty notebook is my computer of choice. Your assumptions are entertaining, if not persuasive.

Thanks, it sucks preaching to a crowd of non-believers. Throw away your tablet and follow me; you can be saved.

Self-deception is not satisfaction; dust off your laptop and stop pretending you weren’t doing everything far quicker and more efficiently when it was all you had.

My number’s on my website-call me if you need a friend.

You’ve convinced me: you know and understand all. It’s not you who doesn’t “get it”; it’s the Millions of satisfied tablet owners. Clearly anyone who can reference a relatively obscure philosopher understands all human philosophy and behavior. My mistake.

Please, teach us more, o Great One. We are ALL unworthy of Your presence; nevertheless we sit and patiently await another dispensation of Your wisdom, for we are hopelessly lost without it.

Maybe I should read some Epictetus, or one of the other great Stoic philosophers. Seneca perhaps? Then I could unravel the deep mysteries of the iPad at the same time as curing this deep insecurity that manifests itself as a criticism of a consumer product!

Such anger. Such insecurity. You might want to seriously consider talking through your issues with a professional. Good luck.

Yeah, it’s because I don’t “understand” it. The iPad is just so deep, so intellectually consuming that I simply cannot fathom it’s brilliance.

It’s beyond me in a way I’ll never understand. I mean, fuck, they replaced laptops! This is some deep Socratic shit.

I’m just sitting here looking at this iPad, and totally not “getting” it. It’s like a laptop without a keyboard that you touch. WHAT.THE.FUCK. It’s plain sorcery.

Is there some kind of spiritual guru, shaman, or mystical Apple god I can do to to help me fathom this mysterious item?

But yeah, I kind of understand what you mean.. The iPad has replaced a bunch of tools that were already perfectly suited to the job, and in most cases, did the job better.

I mean, if I needed to project something on the wall, and my choice was an iPad, or, say, a projector, well, it’s hard to know WHICH one I’d choose!

Like I said though.. adherents lying to themselves.

Wow. You really can’t allow yourself to believe that people are using new tools like this in revolutionary ways. Do you have any idea how many people have replaced laptops and projectors for business presentations and sales pitches with iPads? They travel lighter and end up with a more ideal arrangement for a personal discussion than they previously did in a conference room.

That’s just one example of how indispensable these new tools have become to some people. Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean people are lying to themselves.

mmh,… nexus 10 has a great specs above the iPad 4th generation, but today its not only depend on the specs for winning the battle. High specs is only for geeks, but for general market an establish ecosystem is more important in order to deliver a great user experience. Only Apple who have the best establish ecosystem for now.

How bout Google? hmm they still on the process to reach it, so I think nexus 10 will not so easy to take a lead on a tablet race. Personally I don’t like the Nexus 10 form design, it’s looks cheap for me,.. if we talking about the rounded body design, I prefer to the nook than the nexus 10.

While you are correct that Foxconn is a Taiwanese company, the vast majority of their manufacturing and assembly work (including the factories where Apple makes their iPhones, iPads and iPods) are located in China. Just clarifying that the other post is not technically wrong.
