Looking forward to the replies-—I just got one for Christmas——and I am dumb as a rock.

I had to replace my old HP laptop. I looked at Ipad’s, Surface Pro’s, Surface Go’s, Dells, Lenovo, etc. I researched and had folks demo them all. I just recently retired. I don’t need a lot for computer. I already have a Samsung tablet.
I finally went with HP Pavillion x 360 13 inch laptop. I love it. I am glad I went with laptop vs. tablet. I learned a lot about changing technology. Like hard-drives are now mostly SSD’S (Solid state) vs. the old clanky hard drives. The sound on this laptop is amazing.
I haven’t cracked my laptop in a long long time
In my opinion the answer is a resounding no. I had the same plan a couple of years ago when we retired and planned to go RV-ing. I discovered that the ipad is easy to use and entertaining bit it is almost totally a consumer if info, ie, internet surfing, buying stuff on line, etc.
I find it to be too slow and awkward to be productive
Only took me about a month to get over that in 2010. I had many a grandson willing to tutor me. I had never used an Apple product before that. Now i’m On my 4th one. I wear them out!
