As tablets continue to evolve, especially with improvements in keyboards and screens, they're increasingly challenging desktop computers. While touchscreens can mimic the desktop experience, they still fall short for high-performance tasks. Do you think tablets can truly replace desktops, or will they just remain as supplementary tools? What's your take, buddy?
Are tablets now a real competitor to desktops?

Well, let me put it this way, I recently tried using my tablet in keyboard mode for work, even plugged in an external mouse. The touchscreen is so smooth now that when working in Word or Excel, it felt almost like using a desktop. But still, I didn’t get that "I can do everything with this" feeling—especially when rendering videos, the tablet started heating up and stuff.
I think for tablets to truly compete with desktops, they need serious improvements in both performance and software support (like fully-featured Photoshop or CAD programs). For now, tablets remain just auxiliary tools, but who knows what the future holds? Maybe in five years, when we’re telling kids about "dead" desktops, we’ll say, "These were like electric box mk2s."
