What kind of laptops are you all using? Andy recommendations?
Careful, careful, careful with that axe, Eugene
I got an iPad Air before my MX trip. It was leaps and bounds better than my old gen 1 iPad mini. It's got the Apple M1 chip, so it's even faster than my iPhone. I got the Air because I didn't think I'd ever use the cameras on it. The best camera is the one you have with you and that's an iPhone...
At work, I use the iPad keyboard with the little trackpad. There's also an Apple Pencil option. With the three, I suspect it would make a formidable laptop replacement.
The limitation is that iOS tries really hard to hide the file system from you. This can be a pain sometimes, but now there's a "Files" app so you can kinda navigate around that issue.
You should pop into the Apple Park Visitor Center Apple Store. It's just down the street from your mom's house. Compare a few models. Try them in person...Drink the kool-aid. It's really good!
