(151,337 posts)That has replaced the notebook computer and cellular dongle we used to take when we travel. We typically set it up as a wi-fi hot spot and then use other devices in wi-fi mode, like my Kindle Fire and my wife's iPhone SE. My wife uses the tablet on the plane to play downloaded movies, as well. We have a cute, foldable bluetooth keyboard for the tablet, so we can use Office 365 for work when we're traveling, as well.
Personally, I hate hauling all those devices along on trips, but it's necessary, I guess. We often have some work to do for clients, so all of that is needed. I won't miss the notebook computer, though. I'll hang on to my flip phone, though, and will continue to call forward to it from my primary landline number, even while traveling.
