I've had people at work tell me their kid doesn't want a MacBook because their phone works fine for writing papers. My brain still can't process.
I've never made my iPad work for me on a business trip except for something very short where I won't really be writing. I also don't draw and, while I could probably do photo editing on it well enough, I wait until I get home and use old-school Lightroom.
I'd agree with this, with one little carve out... when I was traveling internationally, it was super helpful to have an iPad and be able to slip in a sim card for a local carrier. That plus slightly smaller size made the iPad a better option than carrying my laptop in those specific circumstances.
Fair point. I don't have an iPad with cellular. Honestly not sure when/if I'll get a new iPad--it's about 6 years old--and I have a long recreational international trip coming up; haven't decided if I'll bring a laptop or not.
