I'm taking a trip to our regional University this week with some of our students, and I've made up my mind. I'm not taking my macbook with me. I haven't traveled without carrying a laptop for a LONG time, but I'm making the break for this 3 day trip.
Why am I doing this? Simplicity...maybe. Not having to deal with security...possibly. But the main reason is I can do most of what I need using my iPad.
There are very few things that I can't accomplish with it as my primary tool. If I throw my bluetooth keyboard in the bag, I'm even better off. I have most of my needed tools available on it. I can place enough video for the plane ride and my reading material is loaded as well. If my flight has wifi, Netflix can fill in a lot of gaps.
The great thing is that by leaving my macbook plugged in and running at home, I can access and run the needed operations from it if the need arises (generally only for a few possible web updates for clients) using a free version of TeamViewer, this app is a must-have for the mobile youth pastor.
I'll update you on my experience upon my return...here's to mobile computing at it's finest!
