Why one should not buy a Tablet

What I say here, equally applies to  a Laptop.

It is better to spend a little more and buy a portable computer with a USB game console.

My support is for Intel NUC which I pronounce as Nuke (not Nike).

In fact, it has become my work force not for games but for my office work.

My one does not have Audio input or output that stops me playing games.

The reason is it consumes less electricity in silent mode and it is smooth and silent.

I use my son's Game PC for gaming which consumes hefty watt output but I currently have  some problems with the audio codecs for Debian Linux but not Linux Mint.

Not everybody has money to buy a Steam Deck and Dock with accessories to go with it.

I am a Linux guy hence I wholeheartedly support Valve and Steam.

I won't support Xbox at all.

It is too expensive and why one pay for an operating system which is buggy and heavy when alternative Linux devices galore with OPEN and FREE operating systems, in the open market.

Coming to Tablet, the design is not sturdy and if one accidentally drop it on the floor or spill your coffee on it one has to put it in  rice cooker (power plug disconnected) with partially boiled rice to absorb the dirt, having removed the battery.

All tablets have sealed batteries and once the battery life expires one cannot replace them.

It is ready for the junk yard.

I have a game console, two tablets one expensive the other cheap Chinese stuff gone dead and no way to activate them.

Only stuff I can reuse are the earphones which I never use.
USB 2 connectors which I have plenty, enough to hang myself on the roof.

Power plug connectors cannot be used on a different device.

Using a Tablet for calls is practically a redundant exercise.

Internet without a Ethernet connector is practically useless.

There is no Ethernet port on Tablets but NUKE has one or sometimes two Ethernet ports.

Everything about Tablet is wasted money.

One can buy two cellphones with four SIM slots.

I have not used a Tab for nearly five years and I have several cellphones to accomplish all my tasks except downloading Linux images.

I am piling up all the boxes containing consoles and tablets.

If somebody gives you an old Laptop or Tablet please flatly refuse.

It can become a pain in the Ar+-se.

Save money, effort and time by purchasing a NUC.

It is fabulous.

I have no interest in talking about the vast array of game boxes and consoles.

It is actually a personal choice.

Please do not force others to buy the game console you bought just yesterday.
