You can buy dual monitors for a price of a cheap tablet.


And if you are in a situation with limited access to electricity, that may not be relevant. Some third world countries have electricity but cannot afford to make it available 24/7. You clearly have no idea how spoiled you are that you think a decision like that is purely a matter of personal budgeting. A netbook would have been cheaper. I know that. It would not have served my needs as well. It still wouldn't. Nowhere in there did I list price point as impacting my decision to purchase a tablet.

Sheesh.


Eh? I don't claim that dual monitors are the best option for everyone, but it's a possibility to most Western people, since the cost is the same as it is for a cheap tablet. I think you should have some better manners and stop calling everyone "spoiled". It's not a good way to have a constructive discussion.


You haven't heard anything I have said. Replying with your rebuttal completely dismisses my point. And now you are engaging in ad hominems. Saying someone is spoiled says they lack perspective as to why this might be valuable to someone in different circumstances. That's all. Nothing ill mannered about it. But your replies are pretty disrespectful, and getting increasingly worse.
