Tablets have something of an unfortunate reputation. Most are relegated to glorified modern-day portable DVD players, machines that are only good for Netflix. While there may have been some validity to that once upon a time, that's not true anymore. A good tablet can replace your laptop for many tasks once you add a mouse and a keyboard. However, many people still prefer to simply use tablets to watch TV shows or movies, especially on the go.
My wife and I are no exception. We keep a tablet on the kitchen table specifically for watching TV shows during meals. It's convenient but not ideal, and that's mainly for one reason. Most tablets have lousy speakers.
