It always feels like some form of VR tech comes out with some sort of fanfare and with a promise it will take over the world, but it never does.

What? Tablets are super common.
They exist — and in fact, I have an Android tablet in my backpack right now — but a lot of people felt that they were going to become a major computing paradigm, and that hasn’t happened.
In practice, the PC today is mostly a conventional laptop. Hybrid laptops with touchscreen exist, but they aren’t the norm.
Mobile OS tablets also exist, but they haven’t managed to take over from smartphones or approach their marketshare, and there are fewer options on the market than there were a few years back; “mobile OS” tablets today are mostly, as best I can tell, a specialized device to use for video-watching with a larger screen than exists on a phone, with a larger screen and better built-in speakers, but without the sensors and radio suite. Not all that much uptake.
I know a ton of people who don’t own a “PC” anymore, and instead have a tablet with one of those keyboard covers as their largest home computing device.
I only know one person with an iPad. Total apple fan boy, watch, phone mac etc, I dont know one person with android tablet - all our students have windows laptops
You realize Microsoft has an entire line of business tablets right? Google Microsoft Surface, they’ve been around for many years.
I think your personal experiences may be biasing your thinking on this one.
Yes. My girlfriend once owned a surface. I know what google is. I was clearly giving a personal account, I didnt say 94% of all people worldwide dont use tablets. You realise that right? Do you realise that microsoft has a line of laptops too? And they make operating systems for dekstop PCs? You realise that right? That would be quite the statement if it meant anything. Nike have an entire line of shoes, but they sell shirts too? You realise that right?
