Limited by entry speed, limited by having to be always connected, etc. On a tablet/limited device, well, you are limited. I can pound out tons of content on a laptop or desktop.

I don’t even feel like typing up a blog post on these devices. Chromebook works, but when it comes down to hard core work, these devices fall down. iPad with a bluetooth keyboard works well. The Surface at least as a sanctioned keyboard. Same thing, I could set up some IaaS VM and do things, but I would be taking way longer trying to create from an iPad or Surface RT, etc. What else? Visual Studio, Management Studio, etc. Yea, I know I can remote into a machine or server, but that is cheating. Macbook Pro or Air, iMac, Windows Desktop or Laptop, or Surface Pro…Īnother reason, but not a complete dealbreaker, is software and services that I can’t use on non-traditional devices.Įxcel 2013 with Power BI? Can’t really run that anywhere but on a traditional laptop or desktop. I will need a traditional laptop or desktop. But until I can get away with running an iPad, Chromebook or Surface RT. Luckily my Nike Fuelband and Fitbit sync via Bluetooth now. I have devices I need to connect to my computer to sync data from. Not everything syncs via Bluetooth, WIFI or ANT+, etc.
