Not sure if Vinnie feels the same way... here are my thoughts. Keep in mind I’m on the road 4 months out of the year and those travels include Iraq and Afghanistan.

Usability - For quick email and WiFi I get 8-10 hours on a tablet (slap a second spare battery in and that doubles) compared to 4-8 hours of a laptop.

Weight - less than a pound vs 4 pounds (more with a 2nd laptop battery and charger)

Apps - On the road, I like the tablet when I’m more likely to be in review mode. Later on in a hotel or tent, the laptop wins when it comes to preparing a presentation.

It really is about what you as a user do. I bring both a laptop and tablet on trips and find I use both pretty much equally.
