They used the comparative in their choice of words " safer "
Correct English grammar should be "safe". Same corporate liars, they left out safer than what?

well, tabs are devices of choice for most (read: ordinary) people and many intellectuals, anyway. if you are not associated with a corporate, and/or don't do rocket science, and/or don't need much power/functionality, tabs may be your choice over laptops.

People with good common sense don't need to wait 1 year for "Black-Friday" to shop wherever.
This is the ultimate corporate holidays brainwash "ads" milking the sheep's.
What is next: "Cyber Monday" and so on....

NOTE:
Walmart = Poverty for their employees (Paying minimum wage & not full time, to get away with insurance ...for them).
Walmart is on top of the worse corporations out there.

P.S.
Comparing prices all year around is more easy online.
iOS users are more corporate brainwash sheep's that Android users:

Oh, it wasn't my assertion by any means; I was just pointing out that the quote did in fact specify what this year was supposedly being compared to as "safer".

I think people are inhuman when it comes to Black Friday.
