The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

[Jake]

I mean, when Apple's biggest selling point of iOS 10 is that the emojis are bigger, it's kind of hard to get excited about buying another phone from them.

I haven't had a Mac in years and their extreme reluctance to update the lineup has me considering a Windows laptop to replace this ancient Dell sometime soon.

I have a Fitbit Blaze, not an Apple Watch... and Android Wear looks ballin' if I wanted that.

My iPad is still a great Facebook/porn machine but the bar for "great" in that regard is pretty low. I do think Apple has the tablet market on lock vs. Android just from an app ecosystem standpoint.

As for the Galaxy versus another Android phone... I wanted something with a good, interesting physical design and consistent manufacturer support. Motorola used to be a contender but their recent phones do nothing for me. The official Nexus lineup is solid but void of any interesting design. Samsung has come a long way with TouchWiz since the S3 days (I had one in my AOL days and it was not great), plus it seems like I can more or less eschew TouchWiz with other apps if I so choose.

This is all a big experiment. I have 14 days to return it.
