Tablets can be useful if you do the kind of work where you are regularly
filling in preformatted forms. Inspections, shipping/receiving, sales
and inventory are ideal applications. Some graphics people I know work
well with a stylus and tablet, because they've already been working on
Wacoms for years. Actually entering and editing text with only an
onscreen keyboard, however, is a disaster. Checking your email and
sending back short replies is one thing, but long, involved work?
Forget it.
Just get another laptop, or a "convertible" model with a display that
can be rotated into tablet mode.
