Galaxy Tab is so much better than iPad
But pingry is correct, turning on the laptop takes up to few mins if you have a lot on it, tablets were developed for the purpose of fast access to documents. There is a lot of appliance for tablets, but if you are a person that actually don't need it you won't understand the usefulness of it. Most of the time it's like having a Console, you want to have it but when you do you rarely use it (if you are not a gaming maniac) or with any cool technological toy for that matter.
Most people buy them without actually thinking if they really need them. But there are people that have a bright idea of how to put those things to god use. Kuran uses her kindle for reading and I think she has a tablet for drawing, Tomoya uses his for reading which does indeed lower the weight of books he would have to carry, and believe me books can really weight you down.
Also since it's lighter and easier to use than a laptop it also makes the use of paper obsolete since you can read on it easily as well. No wonder even musicians use it, and they have a use for paper as well as book writers.
There is a lot of use for tablets, if you have an idea to use it. Otherwise it's just a gimmick people buy for no reason.
