It must be fun writing an essay on a tablet. Do you think tablets will defeat laptops?

Or do most pad users have a physical keyboard for text entry?

I would be interested in the touchscreen keyboard detail here.

I have Gboard on Android, has this space matured?

Basically hybrid will win, as on the Windows side, Microsoft is winning over Android by having laptops with detachable keyboards, turning most non gamer Windows laptops into Surface Pro clones.

When I listened to productivity podcasts the consensus seemed to be yes, people who tend to do a lot of typing on tablets hook them up to keyboards.
