When I did my big Europe trip last year, I didn't want to bring my heavy 17" laptop with me. Too big and way too much data on it if I ever lost it. Ended up getting a cheap win10 14" light weight notebook. Put the bare minimum on it and setup my notebook at the office with RDP. That way if I needed to access the mother ship while I was out, I just did a RDP into my computer sitting at the office. Of course I needed a basic internet connection to do that.

Also, does it have to literally be an iPad, i.e. an Apple product? Or just a tablet? My son has some sort of Android tablet. You could get something like a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. Or if size is the only issue, get a compact laptop. Dell XPS 13 is nice. By the time you add a cover and a physical keyboard and mouse to a tablet, it walks and quacks like a laptop. You wouldn’t want to leave it on the train though.

She told me I am not taking my laptop. Too big, too heavy etc etc. (I actually left it on a train at Heathrow once, had enough time to go catch that same train and found it.)But I digress. She says I can have an iPad. I acquiesce due to the fact that she micro manages these trips and I don’t have to do a thing. She likes it that way and I like it that way. I just go where I am told to go and I pay. She makes sure I have clean clothes and the proper tickets needed for travel as well as hotel rooms. It is actually pretty wonderful. She teams up with my UK son-in-law as he is like this too. But again, I digress. I know almost zero about iPads. I need a human size keyboard. Hopefully one with keys that physically move. I would like to be able to plug in an HDMI monitor too. Mouse? Dear Borg, what are my options? -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com |
