So how fast do you type on your phone? Because I can barely get 50 words per minute and even then my accuracy suffers... So that's a third of the speed of a proper keyboard and way more typos.
Why would I pay for a tablet and a keyboard to get a second super limited device as opposed to having a proper computer that can do anything I want it to?
Pretty damned fast, actually.
The rest of your excuses are pretty sad but I get it. Gotta protect what you support even if it’s based on outdated information.
To respond in kind, I offer this: You could always cut off the anti-virus subscription and sell your home PC to get that cheap tablet and keyboard.
Nice troll m8
Try programming on a tablet, or playing any graphics heavy games, or really anything more than simple text editing or media consumption. It's a shit experience.
Of course if your idea of PC ownership includes an anti-virus subscription, you should indeed limit yourself to devices that limit what you can do with them, as I have suspicions about your tech literacy.
Something I’ve learned is that PC people are insane about accepting that there are better options out there.
Thanks for the lesson.
More limited options that don't give you control over what you do, yes.
