A tablet is ok for very, very light-weight web browsing. Can't even browse vgchartz on one. - Sure you can browse this site with a tablet, I do it all the time.

You can't type long posts on post in an adequate amount of time on one. - The on-screen keyboard is good enough for "normal" forum posts. And if you want to write whole pages of text, you can connect a bluetooth keyboard.

There's no DVD/Blu-Ray drive. You cannot save files to it. - Sure you can save files to it. Internal memory, MicroSD-cards, USB-Sticks, WiFi-HDDs,... If you have internet access, DropBox or other Cloud services are another option.




Browsing this site on a tablet is an abomination. It is not mobile friendly at all. For info, I have an iPad Air 2. You also cannot see the VGChartz Buddy on the side and you cannot go straight to a reply to your post or the last posts.

Nopes, the on-screen keyboard isn't good enough for more than a couple of short sentences. Anymore than that and it's a hasssle.

A tablet also doesn't support all file formats and you cannot actually save, for example, all mail attachments to the tablet. Overall, unless you're not an adult and only use the web for lightweight browsing, you need a laptop over a tablet. Heck, I can't even listen to youtube while browsing the net on the iPad.
