The highlighting stuff in Keynote (telestrator mode!) looks seriously awesome.
Imagine you're in a VC meeting and you're doing financial projections. You could all stare at a big screen, or you could put one of these down in the middle of the table, say "here, let's work on it together!" and you're away.
It's all about the form-factor and the utter reliability. This is a great replacement for a road-warrior meeting laptop - what the MacBook Air was trying to be - and it's the ideal computer to buy for your granny or your kid brother who wants to check their email and write the odd letter.
(Much less use if what you do on the move is program, but that's OK. It's not aimed at you.)
- ubernostrum 17y agoPretty much. I almost never do actual coding at a conference; I do my talks, I take notes in other sessions, I read interesting links and occasionally pop in to IRC. I don't need a laptop for that, but since the laptop's the only thing I have which does all those things I end up taking it. Plus the iPad would probably be a nicer device to have with me on the plane...
