How long until the smartphones and tablets replace the laptop?

Most uni students would be fine with an Android device + keyboard since we have MS office and chrome on Android now. I'd even go so far as to say Android is a more functional OS than Linux on a laptop simply thanks to the sheer volume of mainstream application support it receives.

Most uni students are retarded.
As soon as you care about what the masses want or think beyond the impact it has on your life you're retarded too.

I used my smartphone to view previous slides if need be, but my note taking was done with pen and paper.

Android tablet with physical keyboard and Google docs is pretty comfy

Hopefully never, I can't stand using my tablet for any kind of my uni work. I haven't been to a lecture without it yet.

So in other words, a laptop.

Serious answer: when Android keyboard and mouse support gets better. Copy and paste and highlighting is such a basic requirement of any text manipulation software, and the way it works on Android isnt very good.

never tried it, suppose it won't be bad for text. But I don't feel comfortable drawing diagrams and squiggling on a tablet.

Like the feel of a pencil on paper better than stylus on a glass-like surface for that.

For diagrams and equations, pen and paper is significantly better, but for notetaking and general writing I enjoy my tablet + keyboard more.

Is literally possible since 4 or 5 years. Nobody does it however. Also, manufacturers won't benefit from this so it isn't advertized at all.
>>
>>58713947
For many, their smartphone already has. For the rest it won't.
>>
>>58713947
That's already the case anon. It's been for a long time.

Don't mind the last few with Macbooks, they bought them not because they needed them but because they fell for the memes.

Every normie out there has given up on traditional computers. Which is great news desu, it means places on the internet like IRC, newsgroups and imageboards will be split from the degeneracy of social networks and made great again.
