      I never said it's too much work, I'm saying that if a better device exists people would prefer to use the better device.

      If the task is simply to have a notepad and web browser then carrying a pad around all day is just more convenient to carrying a laptop around all day. The laptop has a million extra things it can do of course but ultimately the 2 things you do with 99% of your usage as a student are to scribble down small notes which you can do with a stylus and get automatically converted into typed font or browsing the web.

      Same goes for general around the house use really.

      A laptop is only necessary when your work is more complicated than web browsing and taking notes, for example if you need to do video or image editing while mobile, or 3d editing, etc etc. More complex tasks. For most people's usage a pad is simply a more convenient device.
