I'm surprised he didn't mention that, without iTunes, you don't need a computer at all to use your iWhatever. You could travel for months with just an iPod Touch, or be a technophobe with just an iPad, and never miss not having a laptop to plug either into. Or, in my case, be a Linux guy with an iPhone and iPad and no longer need to borrow my wife's Mac for syncing.
