Computer vs tablet

For just surfin the web and emails and similar activities, the tablets are awesome. What do you think? Have you made the switch? I still use a computer, but not for anything on the internet except software upgrades and similar activities. Otherwise it's a tablet. Best thing to happen to computing in a long time. Great for reading books too.

I think I will always need a computer.
I rely on Excel too much, whether its for work, reloading, taxes or something else.
Don't think you can do Excel on a tablet.
The difference between people who do stuff and people who don't do stuff is that the people who do stuff do stuff.

If you use your computer for anything other than entertainment, you probably need more than just a tablet. Tablets are handy, but I would still need a "real" computer, too.
If you give up, THEY don't have to win.

The greatest idea the right ever had is personal responsibility; the greatest idea the left ever had is social responsibility. Both take effort.

The Founding Fathers had complete access to the Bible, but they came up with the Constitution as our governing document.
