So I have a little expendable income and I want to buy a toy.
I know I don't need it, but every now and again I get a bug up my butt and then my rationalization engine starts running full speed.
I want to buy a tablet. I don't have one, have never had one, but I think it would be useful. Everything I read, however, tells me this is just a toy with no real practical capabilities. If I buy one, it won't be Crapple. It'll be a continuation of my fealty to the Google Overlords, with the Pixel C. Now, tell my why I shouldn't buy a tablet. Or if you have one and use it a lot, tell me why I should.
My Pros:
1) My laptop is heavy and I could carry this to school instead. (I can SSH into my linux box from school)
2) I'd use it instead of my phone while I'm at home
3) It would be better for media than my laptop
4) Easier to take to work for schoolwork.
My cons:
1) It is 100% a non-essential. I could just save the $600, or spend it on my vacay.
2) Really, that's a big one. I don't need it. But I waaaaannnts it.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
