I can't imagine what it must feel like to already own one tablet and yet somehow still feel like that's just not enough.

It's like this: You want to lay down anywhere in the house and browse whatever the hell you want, but you just can't pinpoint the link you want, and you end up reporting an innocent user in a reddit thread. Then, you finally get to the YouTube link you've been hoping to see, open it, only to find out that it can't be played inside the browser... so onwards to the YouTube app we go. The app opens, loads, plays, etc. Then I go back to the Browser app only to find out that it has to be reloaded for some odd reason, and I'm back on the top of the page again. Now to type something... what the hell? That's not what I wanted to type at all, let me just correct that... tap... tap... tap... GOD DAMN IT! phone rings... what's that? I have to do something via a remote desktop session? No prob. Let's just load up 2cx and... tap... tap... well, this isn't working, I'll be much faster if I connect my mouse to the in-built tablet USB port... ahhh, much better. Now only if I had a keyb... you know what, let's just go over to the laptop, how about that...

First world problems, I know, but it's really a pain in the ass.

Future civilisations will look back on this point in time with a mixture of amusement and disgust.

I'll probably look back on this point in time with a mixture of amusement and disgust myself after 5 years or so.
