It sounds like you are settling on a very good choice. But it’s not really an iPad or any kind or pad or tab, it’s more of an ultraportable laptop with a touchscreen display that can transform into a desktop.
Which is fine. I used to say an iPad isn’t a small computer, it’s a big phone. I don’t think that has really changed. What has changed is the average person is no longer interested in having a computer, they want a smartphone, and/or a handheld Netflix viewing device. But for actual computer work, phones and tablets are pretty lame. Not sure where a Chromebook fits.

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] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- <http://remotelylocated.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/cropped-Remotely-Located-Logo.jpg> Jason Wilson Remotely Located Providing High Speed Internet to out of the way places. 530-651-1736 530-748-9608 Cell www.remotelylocated.com <http://www.remotelylocated.com> _____ -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
