I am unpaid tech geek for over a dozen people and I cover people who refuse to have a smartphone as too big, to those who seem to be willing to try anything even it expensive just because it exists.
One topic comes up which puzzles me - people who buy LTE capable tablets rather than tether off their mobile.
I used to have an LTE tablet but I found when I was sufficiently physically placed to use a tablet - so basically sat down and able to one both hands, I nearly always had Wifi such as home, office, hotel, conference. In the odd time I didn’t have Wifi I could tether off my phone. Not having another LTE device also saved me money, the tablet was cheaper and for some reason the carriers seem to give more GB of data for less $ to phones. Given I tether little the tethering limits are fine. I also when on Wifi use downloading for offline so hardly ever need to LTE stream media anyway.
So question do you prefer LTE tablets, or Wifi tether to your mobile? Do you even like tablets at all? Some people I know just have a mobile and use Chromecast to a LCD screen TV type. As phones have got bigger, the reason for tablets have eroded from below, and cheaper Chromebooks eroded from above.
One voice I heard was tethering drained the phone, but when I have a tablet I necessarily have a bag to carry the tablet and inside the bag would always be a Powercore of some size to keep the phone going anyway, so its not an issue for me.
One voice was that an LTE tablet is just easier.
