On most airlines, the Wi-Fi is much too slow to use services like Netflix. Some airlines let passengers use laptops as well as mobile devices to watch video, which they stream via the plane’s Wi-Fi network without having to make an internet connection.īut free video streaming isn’t available on all flights, and there are times when I’d rather watch something else. So, when I’m in a hotel room and want to watch a movie, I bring out my laptop.

One thing I rarely do with my phone, however, is watch TV shows or movies. For me, it’s not as enjoyable as watching them on a larger screen. When I travel, I carry a 3-pound laptop – currently an HP Spectre x360 or a MacBook Air, which I’m happy with because of their decent keyboards and more-than-adequate screens.īut, like most people today, I’m often out and about, so if I need to check email, catch up on the news or even read a Kindle book, I’ll reach into my pocket for my ever-present smartphone. I love all that screen real estate as well as the terabyte of storage on the Mac and the ability to work with a mouse. At home, I have a Mac mini attached to two large screens. It just hangs out in my pocket, ready for me whenever I want it. I don’t have to plan to bring it along, nor do I have to put it into my backpack. Unlike those tablets that are too big for a pocket, my smartphone is always with me. On the other hand, I use my smartphone multiple times every day.

That, too, lives pretty much in a drawer along with a couple of Android tablets I picked up over the last few years. Then I bought an iPad mini, thinking that the smaller form factor would make me more likely to take it along.

I bought one of those early iPads, but it mostly hung out in a drawer. Now, many people who might have carried a tablet back in the first half of this decade are satisfied with what they can do with an iPhone 7 Plus, a Samsung Galaxy S7, a Google Pixel XL or any of several excellent phones with screens that – while decidedly smaller than the original iPad – are big enough to make tablets a bit less desirable. But that was before today’s “phablet” – phones that are big enough to rival small tablets.
