Well, as promised, we are talking foldable this week. The excitement is palpable, and it looks like the rest of our mod team have already started the conversation here. Go check it out.

I honestly don't know very much about foldable phones, so I'll let the rest of our (very smart and knowledgeable) mod team handle this one this week. :)

Last thing for future reference at the end of the week, we also have a great thread discussing foldables here too, go check it out if you want more great discussions.

Yup. I get that. Always a niche and people buy unnecessary products. I still don't get tablets at all. Wouldn't buy one. See no reason for their continued existence. I'm wrong. Like most things people baffle me.

Tablet is a larger screen. That's it. It's an inferior laptop and inferior phone. Only use I could think of would again be game or watch films. However once again a tv fulfils that role by a country mile.

Only reason would be as you said portability, however in that sense I'd expect most adults would require a laptop for work and so would be able to dual purpose that.

If you didn't have a laptop and had to travel frequently then tablet would be a cheaper alternative.
