are not congruous.
- the_gastropod 9y agoWhy? You can get iPads with cell service, allowing you to connect to a test/staging server without having access to power. I use a full blown MacBook Pro at work, and _still_ connect to a powerful EC2 box running tmux/vim/etc for development.
- canuckintime 9y agoYou can now get a Surface Pro with cellular service too unlike the Mac
- synicalx 9y agoI prefer just tethering my phone, it's generally cheaper just to get a bigger data plan than it is to get a new service for $device number 2.
- rocky1138 9y agoMy laptop has had cell service for over 5 years thanks to USB internet stick.
- the_gastropod 9y agoRight. But the author's point was about battery life. Not that an iPad is unique in having cellular service.
