> The software support for iPads have been excellent imo, especially compared to competition.
Yes, excellent in comparison to the other "black rectangle" devices, phones, tablets, etc but compared to a regular PC still awful. My core 2 duo PC from ~16 years ago is still going strong.
I think the difference is, with an "open" platform like the PC it's up to the user when they want to replace the hardware, usually when it's too slow to keep up with the things you want to do. But with these newer devices you're completely at the mercy of the manufacturer - at some point the power flipped and that's a shame.
