After playing with all the Apple Devices, all the Android devices, etc — a simple takeaway:
Give me a laptop, and I can move the world!
Ultimate open-ness
With a laptop, all is possible.
Phones cannot replace a laptop. An iPad cannot replace your laptop.
Just get a maxed out MacBook Air, and call it a day.
I cannot access my FTP on my iPad (or iPhone) easily.
Whenever I get any server errors for my website/blog, I must use FileZilla to quickly access my files. It is *possible* on an iPad or iPhone, but so insanely inefficient.
Laptops are much more efficient, at least 1000x.
