In general, I think you're right. Were I less paranoid about apps, it's entirely possible that some of them would be more convenient than using my desktop (at this point, I basically cannot trust anything in the Play Store, so bad is the permissions situation). That said, these things are more convenient on a phone or tablet: - directions & navigation - reading an ebook on the train - watching a movie while programming on the desktop - texting (in fact, it may not be possible) - using Signal for messages & voice - tracking my steps in Google Fit - hailing an Uber - translating a menu with Google Goggles That's about all, though. I still prefer my desktop for games, for programming, for creation in general. It's 50-50 between the desktop & a phone or tablet when it comes to browsing the web: the convenience of mobile is nice, but my desktop screen is much nicer.
