<p class="paragraph">Music. No advantage. In this category, tablets are the same as smartphones and laptops. If you want to listen to music you are going to be working with the shitty built-in speaker. These speakers are garbage on all of the devices. Therefore, if you want louder music or better quality, you have to get an external speaker. There is no advantage here except an uncomfortable device form. My smartphone connects to a Bluetooth speaker just like your tablet. The difference is that I always have that smartphone in my pocket.</p>

- <p class="paragraph">Games. Are you fucking kidding me!? This is so goddamn stupid that I find it difficult to believe that he actually claimed this. Tablets are the worst possible thing for games. If you want to really play some serious, immersive games, you have to have a laptop/desktop computer (or a console). You simply will never get a decent gaming experience on a smartphone or tablet. However, smartphones do have their uses for playing games. If you like to play casual games or play a game when you are waiting in line for 8 hours at the DMV, smartphones are pretty cool for that. Again, it's in your pocket. As long as the game is designed to be played with one hand, it can be a decent casual gaming experience. How the fuck do you play any game on a tablet? It is the worst thing that I can imagine. You have to hold it from the side with one hand, straining against gravity to keep it steady while the metal and glass warps. Touch the screen to interact with it and you push the whole screen downward because you are holding it from one spot of the edge of the screen. The tablet is literally the worst conceivable form of computer to ever play a game with, I couldn't design something worse if I tried. As usual, you could put it up on a stand with a mouse and keyboard, but then you have just turned it into a shitty laptop.</p>

<p class="paragraph">eBooks. Nope, dog shit. Again, this is about holding it. Tablets are just the most inconvenient thing in the world to hold and interact with at the same time. Even phones are better for reading on. Granted, phones have a small screen and it isn't the best experience, but it is more convenient and not a workout just to hold the fucking thing. I have my phone everywhere, so it is always there and available to read when I get stuck in that 8 hour line at the DMV. Laptops are OK for reading books and other things, but their lack of pocketability makes them non-ideal. But the large screen and the ease of using buttons to scroll/change page does make them quite nice. Ultimately, real books are the way to go here. But if you do want something to take with you everywhere, all the time, use a smartphone.</p>
