I am sitting at a rec center right now while my son attends a birthday party, having just finished updating a slew of items on Asana from my Nexus 7, tethered through my smartphone. It has been an incredibly productive hour or so. I wouldn't have brought a laptop, but a little pad tossed in the swim bag...perfect. That is how it often is. The tablet saves the day where alternately I had no real convenient options. It allows me to read up on technologies, learn language innovations, send missives, complete to do lists, etc. If you always have the option of a full PC, as apparently the author does, of course it is a poor substitute. Yes I prefer my dual big monitors, VMs galore, and killer compute box. That isn't always an option.
