I personally got saved by my tablets many times because I didn't have my laptop or desktop around me and had to SSH into a server and fix something that went terribly wrong (which at one point took me several hours to pin-point the issue and correct it).

Again, that's just a small example. But enough to point out that the statement "Tablets are toys" is false.

However I consider toys good and useful things.

It might be pointed out that Maemo devices were initally "Nokia Internet Tablets".

: something a child plays with
: something that an adult buys or uses for enjoyment or entertainment
Although the tablet can be used as a toy.. There are many other examples of uses (like the one I mentioned above) that does not make it a toy exclusively.

8 hours of battery life isn't bad when you keep in mind that tablets are NOT a replacement for desktops.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the portable counterparts of the desktop computers of the same era had a battery life counted in weeks or months (Sharp PC 1500, HP 95LX...). Similar counterparts in 2010s barely manage through the day. What went wrong?
