    Tablets, I don’t see the appeal of a big phone device that can’t fit your pocket and can’t make calls

      I like bringing it with me when travelling, to watch movies on the plane. More portable than my laptop with a bigger screen than my phone.

      i sometimes use one for certain tasks, where a big screen device is needed, but i don’t want to haul around my big laptop.

      The only tablet I can recommend is any iPad with pen support. It has been a lifesaver in my uni life, by taking notes digitally I saved dozens of notebooks and otherwise wasted paper, plus the convenience of having my digital books that can be taken everywhere saved my back. I think that for a university student the base 128gb (or even a 64gb one) iPad and a knockoff apple pen for 20~30€ is a worthwhile investment.

      My wife got me one years ago, and I’m using it as a dedicated YouTube player when I’m doing something around the house

      I can see it a whole lot better in bed, or around the house. The phone is too small. I only use the phone outside of the house when I’m mobile, except for hotels, then I’ll use the tablet.
