I thought about getting a laptop, but I already have one. Its nothing special, can't run anything well except for FTL but it does what I need it to, so getting another one wouldn't really be useful. The tablets out on the market right now are nothing special and I still can't find a reason for owning one. But this tablet unlike all the others, is literally a pc. I'll be able to use all the programs I currently use on my desktop/laptop on this tablet. Plus its way more portable and less "clunky" than any laptop. Especially gaming laptops. I've got my eye on the Razer Blade though, its the only gaming laptop that I would consider slim.
