I have an iPad and use it a lot casually. I like a big monitor and I also hate touch pads. The first thing I do with any laptop is dock it with a large screen (if I can with a monitor port) and use the USB's to connect a mouse and keyboard if there's room. A piggyback USB connector seems to not have any conflict with both.

I'm really a desktop kinda guy. I'm really not a phone kinda guy. I'm surprised at myself every time I use Google on a phone. However, the whole page as I would see it is not there. I guess pages can be optimized for phones.

The worst thing about a pad is the speakers. I need Bluetooth speakers to even manage.
So maybe not the best for me unless I'm at my workbench with a radio schematic open.

I have one of the last Sony laptops that I don't mind. But I lost the windows OS by installing a new HD without a license. Not buying Win for a LT that is 10 years old that they don't even make anymore. The other LT is on Win7 and does well for me if playing around before going to sleep. It's a 3rd party installation and I'm reminded every 10 minutes. Annoying as hell.
