So I just had to reboot my tablet.. it suddenly disconnected itself from WiFi and every time I tried to reconnect, it wasn't connecting, but just saying that the network was saved. A reboot solved the problem, but now I hope it doesn't happen more often.
 
A reboot is actually the fastest way to solve transient hardware problems that are related to some internal program getting stuck on an internal device. :)

Failing that, turning off the device and leaving it off for a while should make everything fresh on the next boot.

I sometimes just reboot even if nothing seems to be wrong because I like my devices "fresh".

I have a desktop and an iPad. Between the two, I've never had any use for a laptop, though I do have an old netbook somewhere. :P

I do have a tablet, but I haven't used it much since I got my desktop and it's collecting dust since I got my iPhone. xD
 
I don't actually have any kind of portable device. No laptop, no Iphone, No tablet, just a desktop.
 
I have a desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone. I use them all at different times for different things xD Laptop is where I am most of the time since I'm on the couch. Desktop is my media server. Tablet I browse the internet in bed and/or read on it. Smartphone... goes everywhere.

I can't even have a desktop because I'd have too little desk space. Sometimes, you just gotta stay compact. I blame my multifunction printer.

Mine is under the desk, and the screen is on a wall mount. Zero desk space used. :D
 
Alongside desktop, I also have a tablet, a laptop, and a pair of phones. I use my tablet for reading and watching movies/TV shows; phones for calling, texting, IMing, and sometimes browsing; and laptop for just about everything else. d:
 
Seeing as I have no desktop, I find a tablet to be insufficient for my needs outside. Sometimes you have to appreciate the ability to run any Windows app out there.
 
Out of curiosity, what did your laptop came with, Zach? (In terms of both hardware and software.)

I suspect you might want to wait until Windows 9 is out.
 
I suspect that if your next laptop was a really nice one, you'd wish that you had got rid of the desktop. Maybe some good planning and demoing of the laptops is a good thing to do if you ever want to get a new laptop to supplement your tablet and/or replace your desktop.
 
Personally I'd prefer a good desktop PC to any laptop. Unless it was an alienware and then I would still like to use my desktop pc more then the alienware
 
I prefer a powerful enough laptop if it means I can stay mostly wireless and unencumbered. I kind of like how I can bring my laptop anywhere even without the AC adapter and use it.
 
I totally understand that. Desktop PCs aren't portable after all. But really I'm used to a desktop pc.

Wouldn't battery life be somewhat of an issue though? (unless you happen to own one of those ultrabooks with supposed 9 hour battery life ha)

I have this ambitious plan to use my laptop for general use and my tablet (with a bult in keyboard) for note taking during lectures when I go to university in September. I wonder how that would work out.
 
What drives me away from desktops is their portability; you just can't move them from place to place like you can with laptops. Some laptop computers may not be able to perform as good as desktops, but that doesn't bother me.
