I use mine as an ebook reader and to watch netflix et al. especially when I’m traveling. It was only 200€ for a very good 10" display, good sound and decent speed. Pretty good value for money and a lot more comfortable for me than a laptop for these use cases. It’s not the most important device I own but it has its uses.
At school, they are wildly common. As you can imagine. Digitizing all your work can make searching for it easier. I still can’t let go of old pen and paper for that to happen though
Om sure they are at some schools. However, my kids have had macbooks or Chromebooks for the entire time except kindergarten where they were given iPads.
I use mine as a reader for my ebook/comic collection and for pulling up recipes when I cook. Buying a whole ass laptop for that would be overkill and my phone screen is too small. Haven’t bought a new tablet in a long time though.
They’re still super common in the enterprise space. If you leave your house, you’ve probably interacted with an android tablet based payment kiosk super recently. Several restaurants near me have devices they use for digital signage at every table that are really just android tablets. There’s this great sushi place near me that has like 4 different types for signage/payment/ordering and they don’t even put them in weird cases to hide that it’s a tablet. Most restaurants using door dash/GrubHub/ubereats will likely have an android tablet for it, maybe even a separate one for each. Lots of other uses in spaces where a basic computing device is needed but the expense of an iPad or standard computer doesn’t make sense.
So they sold 21 android tablets. Wow.
I haven’t considered a tablet in ages and I don’t know a single person that owns one.
Given how thin laptops have gotten, the tradeoff of being small for using a mobile os isn’t worth it anymore.
I do appreciate that they put BlackBerry in the stats.

I’m more talking about colleges and university level. Something in the maths and sciences
