Fun use case:

My 12.9” eventually had like 30 min battery life and I refuse to spend so much on a legit battery replacement.

Instead I mounted it on the side of our refrigerator to be always plugged in.

Our kids use it with friends to look at family pictures, play multiplayer arcade games, stream music, etc.

It became kind of a mini home console for them (it is mounted lower for their height).

It might be a good model for internet browsing as well, and texting, since it forces open communication as they wean into entering the dangerous internet (for some, it can be as dangerous as learning to drive…)
