would you travel anywhere without a laptop if it isn't for work? i know many people who wouldn't.
me?
my phone effectively is my laptop. i rarely watch movies or play games and i rarely need to do geeky stuff, so i'm perfectly fine with a phone.
even if my computer died, there is a lot i could still do with a phone, especially if i connected a Bluetooth keyboard to it. it would be the world's tiniest laptop.
