I would never have bought one before but nowadays it could actually be useful. You could have Codex or Claude Code in your pocket, and every ~15min check the work and write a new prompt. Tablets are too big (for me) to constantly carry around for this, and phones annoyingly small for that use.

It caters to a very specific target group: voice calls[1] and looking at a lot of information at once[2].

Why get a computer if you just want to read or watch videos?

youtube with ublock origin is a game changer.

Or you can pull up VLC and peruse your collection of locally-stored content
