      Nah, more like they call you a POS for not buying into the latest and greatest corporate need to sell you the newest hardware at top dollar - I think the last time I saw a tablet for sale it was about $1100 or something stupid like that.

        Where are you shopping? Samsung has several great tablets available in a wide range of prices. The S series has the S6 lite, a great tablet with stylus, for $350. There are cheaper tablets without the stylus for cheaper.

          Cheap tablets and phones legitimately suck. At this point $350-400 is the new $250.

          That being said, I live in Australia - $1100 was just my estimated conversion - I think the full price of it was A$1300. It was at a JB Hi-Fi that I saw, I think the cheapest one I saw was A$600.

      Even the PCMR community understands there are times a computer is overkill. You gonna lug your desktop around in your pocket for daily communication? Set up your laptop on a TV tray in from of your recliner? No, there are literal devices meant for both those situations.
