They dont ask for them and parents dont want to make an unnecessary expense, as a kid all I wanted was a thin and light small laptop with a touchscreen (those were either not a thing yet or insanely expensife/mid) I get why they go for tablets and don’t think of laptops. Everything they could want works and is easily accessible. Ipads are better than the laptops I had access to as a kid, like the software available for free is much better (even if it isnt I didnt have the processing power to handle much at at least 3x the price of a tablet these days)
Tablets have word processing, they have art apps that are great, they have video editing apps liked davinci, they are getting blender soon, you arent missing anything with a tablet, you have access to more than the past
Maybe I’m just old but knowing how to type on an actual keyboard efficiently is an important skill to learn. Oh and things like basic file management, directory structure, knowing the parts of your machine, how to clean the fan, and so on.
If all you have is a walled garden with fisher price squares to click on you learn and know nothing.
The walled garden and lack of control is an issue, but yall act like they do nothing productive when plenty can be done lol, and most ppl at that age buy pcs to game and not use it for anything else
