Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
I thought I might try another android tablet because a 128 GB Samsung S6 Lite was on sale at Bestbuy for $330.00. I tried it for one day and then returned it, fully charged and with the latest OS update. Holy poo poo, it is not a good tablet. Compared to an entry level iPad it is slow and janky. Android as an OS pisses me off because it has always feels like the IT department at work; we'll get around to servicing your request. An entry level iPad loving responds when I want it too.

And then there are the apps; if you want to use an Android tablet for drawing or producing music, good loving luck finding a decent app. Apple is absolutely the cream of the crop for good apps for creatives.

tldr: Samsung tablets are still poo poo compared to iPads.

now every single thing requires a subscription plan, you have to buy each individual feature within the app, and you need to sign in with your apple/google/facebook account.

Most apps on the app store are still a one time payment unless you need something high end like a CAD program. Of course, streaming services are a subscription, but isn't that the nature of the beast?

nintendo switch

the 3DS is pretty great as well

I'd prefer a Steamdeck to a Switch

I'm just about finished Metal Gear Solid 3 on my 3DSXL. I think I have Volgin left to fight. It's pretty crazy that MGS runs as well as it does on the 3DS.

tablets are a pointless compromise between a mobile phone and a laptop/desktop computer imo OP

It's hard to draw on a laptop screen with the keyboard in the way.

If Apple products were made in the good ole USA, wouldn’t they have to be sold for tens of thousands of dollars each just to turn a profit?

Apple sucks rear end. Maybe I'll buy one if I want to pay 3x what it's worth and then have it treat me like a boomer user and exert tyrannical control over all of my precious files

Lol, what are you talking about? Those days are long gone. An entry level iPad is complete overkill for the average user and file transfers are super easy.

E:you can run Stable Diffusion locally on an entry level iPad. Are there any other tablets that powerful?

This. Tablets excel at serving porn while in bed, and little else. If you're actually trying to create something of value, you should use a real computer, OP.

Zbrush is subscription only now, but Nomad Sculpt is a one time purchase.

Photoshop is subscription only, but Affinity Photo/Procreate are a one time purchase.

Premier Pro is subscription only but LumaFusion is a one time purchase.

E:lol, some of you still seem to think tablets are toys when the reality is that they are as powerful as some desktop hardware and considerably more power efficient.

I honestly can't tell what kind of point you're trying to make with this reply. Are you agreeing with me? Disagreeing? Why?

Just venting about how all the best apps are now subscription only. At least there are decent alternatives for the iPad.
