Analyst Suggests 'Tablet Cannibalization' Responsible for Shrinking U.S. Notebook Retail Sales

I guess when I am at home I use my television to watch movies, I guess nobody else uses TV's at their home,

we dont have a tv in the bedroom (studies confirm it leads to more sex). so when i want to watch a show in bed its the ipad for me -- beats the pants off a 3" screen.

So when your friends come over, to watch movies you use your ipad and hold it in front of them? HA right. And when you want to share photos, you can either hand them a huge device that takes up space

nope, we watch on the living room tv. why would i show movies on my ipad?? you make no sense, mate. for sharing photos its the ipad, so they can control the flipping.. and a 9" screen, even if lower dpi, is better than a 3" screen.

obviously youre really struggling here.

I'm surprised that the lack of a real keyboard isn't an issue to so many people. For me, that's the number one reason I wouldn't get an iPad.

i have a physical keyboard on my tablet. plugs right in on the bottom, tho there is a wireless model available. perfect.

it just goes to show how many consumers there are vs prosumers... we few, we tech savvy few

flimsy. even the prior-gen MBP has fragile feeling hinges. no denying it, mate. ive had plenty of HP laptops and have damaged them thru ordinary use.

And you're point? You can't expect technology to always look brand new three years from now. Anyway, if it's broke, then fix it or give it someone else who will.
