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.
