I'm older (by nearly double), and I see releases like this and I think, hmmm... do I need a tablet. I could... nope, nothing[0]. I can think of a single use case where I need a tablet. For any other use case, I either have laptop, phone, or even just a sheet of paper.

[0] Ok, there's one use. Media consumption, but a $35 kindle tablet takes care of that for the rare (ie: airplane) times I want media on the go.
