But you can do all of those things very well on a laptop.
Especially if you're trying to travel light, and you know you need a laptop, I don't understand why you'd pack the iPad as well.
- lanstin 3y agoBecause I use it to read hacker news, can sprawl out across the couch, holding it in one hand, and peacefully enjoy my time till my son wakes up.
- TheHappyOddish 3y agoI can, but just like I can make calls from my laptop, it's not the preferred form factor or operating system to do so. The iPad is a great bridge between the phone and laptop. It's not for everyone, but it's not a huge extra effort or weight to travel with (slides into the laptop bag I'm taking anyway) and it fits my use case. If I was travelling and I forgot it, it also wouldn't be a huge deal and I would use my laptop. It's also handy as a second monitor when coding (keep a terminal up on it) or to watch a show while sending emails or doing something else on the laptop. Again, not a big deal if I don't have it, but useful if I do.
