Oh, a Transformer?

 

I forget, was Bumblebee a Transformer?

Well, I would say the Surface really is a tablet, since the keyboard is 
detachable. That makes it more of a tablet that can transform into an 
ultraportable laptop that can transform into a desktop...

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.

All the ports you need


With two high-definition video ports, a gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 3.0 
ports, and an audio output, you have all the connections you need. Transform 
your Surface into a desktop PC by plugging in your Dock with the Surface 
Connect cable.

Dock to a nice large monitor, a normal sized keyboard and mouse.  

Be nice to drop it into a slot when I am at the office.

Dock to what?  It's got a keyboard and stand built in.

My wife is busy (for months) planning some travel for this fall.  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?
