Why do people spend money (and quite a lot of it) for devices that have less functionality than a smartphone?

  • Tablet is just a bigger screen, but not same power like a laptop.

  • Smartwatch is just tracking device that sends even more of your personal data.

And BOTH are another battery that you have to worry about.

    Tablet is just a bigger screen…

    And this is why I got a tablet, I needed more space in my screen 🤷‍♂️

      But then, why not get an external portable monitor connected to the smartphone?

        Because then I’m giving my phone more responsibility and the goal is to take away some from it, I don’t want to be reading and get bombarded with notifications from social media, or get calls, or drain my battery by doing do. I want a dedicated device for that, an a tablet is more capable than an e-reader. I also want to practice writing and a tablet with a digital pen is good for that purpose.
