That doesn't make any sense. The resolution wouldn't be higher. Larger screens need a higher resolution to be considered retina. Hence why the retina MacBook Pro has the higher resolution out of any Apple product.

Oh ****. Lol. It's okay. That was just "if" ever I want to buy one some day. Still can't see the use of tablets when you have laptops. But if I have extra $$ why not but I don't

But the resolution wont be higher. It will just have higher PPI

Tablets are more portable than laptops and are used for much lighter computing than laptops. Tablets are media driven consumer devices. People buy laptops for productivity. If they have no need for productivity and only just browse the web and listen to music, watch videos, and play games, a tablet is a better device for that purpose. Nowadays, laptops are just as powerful as desktops so the tablet often accompanies that. Smartphone > Tablet > Laptop

If the resolution was increased wouldn't that increase the ppi in the 7" screen?

Since Apple increases the reolution by 2, then the resolution would be 1024*2=2048 768*2=1536; 2048x1536 which is the exact resolution of the retina iPads. Now the ppi would be much higher than both retina iPads, which will be 324ppi. Which is much higher than the full sized iPad. I don't think Apple would do that, but hey I could be wrong.

They are very useful. I have an iPad 2 for school, and I managed to put all my textbooks in there. Which saves me weight and paper, its also cheaper. I bring it to class to type in notes, and stuff. And I use it to study. I left my latptop at home, and hardly ever use it. A tablet is much more convenient. You won't understand until you try.
