jQuery Check for tablet? [duplicate]

Question

I use a media query to load in a stylesheet (if device is a tablet).

I was just wondering how I could check in my javascript if the user is using a tablet, is there a check or should I just check what stylesheet was loaded in?

As the answer to that thread says, I'd suggest to rely on 'feature detection' rather than tablet vs non-tablet (as it may not be as straightforward as one may think) hence --> http://modernizr.com/
