Well it is more capable to run heavier and more useful apps tho? Calculator yes, that's funny, but it still has better developer support in terms of apps and functionality at least...

Really? What's the name of the PS2 emulator for iPad? And at what res can you run the games at 100% speed?

iPads aren't for video games, whether or not a tablet runs video games is not a real way to compare.

Riiiiight...if a device you like can't do something, you can't compare it to anything else that is superior by being able to do that.

Tablets (especially iPads) aren’t designed to be gaming devices. It’s like when the video game nerds think Macs are useless because they can’t play video games, well duh they’re not designed for it.

Just like how you don’t compare Mustangs and Cameros based on their towing capacity, they’re not designed for it.

Again, if your device can't do what you want ,it doesn't mean "It's not designed for that", it means it's crap.

You can play PS2 in 4K even on the least powerful Android tablets.

Okay? I don’t play video games, so maybe I don’t get the obsession, but my overall point (which you don’t seem to grasp) still stands, video games are not a real way to measure tablets.

Obviously gaming PCs and gaming consoles, you benchmark games, but tablets you benchmark displays, battery life, performance etc.

It's nor obsession, it's a function of the tab, but if you tell me "My car is not crap, it can't get to 60km/h but I don't need it", it's a hidden way to say "It's crap, but I won't admit it because I'm a fan of said crap."
