I love tablets :D

I'm eyeing up the note pro 12.2 as its on sale at the moment :p:p


That's cool! i love tablets as well, they are great! :D :D
I would like to get another 1 or 2 tablets this year as well.

I am thinking...

Ipad Air 2

And a lighter and thinner(and all so with better battery life) 10/11 inch Windows 8 tablet with a Core M or I5 Core CPU and with a prober keyboard dock like Acer Aspire Switch 11, Dell Venue Pro 11.

I've minimized my gear so now only have Note phone and Surface Pro 3. Got rid of Note 10.1 2012, Nexus 10, Nexus 7 2012 and Nexus 7 2013 and the iPad just collects dust since it's a gift so I can't get rid of it.

I have an iPad mini, and wouldn't want to be without it. It's my e-reader, working with books in all formats including pdf, and neither my phone nor my laptop would be a satisfactory replacement. It's also nice for browsing the web, reading emails, or gps when I'm on the run and a laptop wouldn't be practical and a phone would work, but would be a bit small. But the e-reader function is what makes my mini indispensable to me.

Me.

I bought the top end original 64GB iPad in late 2010 and got into the game early. Then iOS 5 came out and sucked all the life out of it. So I moved to a Nexus 7, then sold that. Then went to an iPad mini for a while, but didn't use it enough to keep it around, and it was getting slow on iOS 7.

I find I use my phone for everything I could do on a tablet. Currently I'm content with my Moto X and retina MacBook Pro 13" with external everything. It's a full desktop hooked to a 23" 1080p monitor, M-Audio AV40's, 2x 4TB USB3 drives, and an Apple keyboard, trackpad, and mouse.

It gets used off the dock at least as much as it does on the desk. Anything I did on the iPad/Nexus is way faster on my actual laptop, and when I'm out and about my phone does just as good as the tablet would, just smaller and has mobile data.

I may pick up another tablet in the future, but for now, it just isn't needed. Fun, sure, but not needed. Thanks to more powerful, high res, larger sized phones, and ultraportable laptops.

I had a Note 10.1 for a while to take notes with, but after I graduated no longer used it. I found myself either using my MBP or my Note 2 (at the time) whenever I needed to. Sold on craigslist a while ago.

Now I just have my MBP and a 6+. Satisfies all my needs.

Once I had bought my Galaxy Note 3 I ditched the iPad mini...it just wasn't needed. The screen size on the Note is perfect for movie viewing either in bed, on the train at the gym on the stairmaster or at my desk at work.

Viewing a movie in public on anything bigger risks being anti-social?
