When it comes to portable consumer electronics, tablet computers are in a precarious position. Where smartphones and laptops are ubiquitous within the world of mobile computing, tablets have always struggled to carve out a substantial niche of their own.
This status quo is now rapidly changing, with more and more users picking up big-screen devices for content consumption and even for creative work purposes. Even if Google purportedly doesn’t care about tablets again, its recent work on the Android platform appears to suggest the contrary.
With so many options out there on the market, there has arguably never been a better time to pick up a tablet. Black Friday is now just two days away, and there are numerous deals to be had on digital storefronts such as Amazon — many of these discounts are already listed in advance of the official Friday, November 29 street date.
