Hey everyone,
My current job has had me doing fairly short parings. Unless I'm training it's usually just one or two nights away from home at a time. I have a blackberry that keeps me in touch with all my email, friends, facebook, and the odd bit of internet surfing. I've been happy with this set up and don't like hauling around too big of a laptop. I currently use a larger laptop as my main computer and I can take it with me on the odd occasion if needed.
I'm going to be starting a new job that will be giving me more of the standard 4 day pairings and be international at times. The added time away I would like to have something a bit more substanstial to take on the road with me and not rely on my phone when out of the country.
I don't want something too big and bulky and I don't need a full computer. Just something that will let me do some basic apps and spend time on the internet. Maybe watch movies and play some games as well. I am thinking maybe some kind of netbook or possibly an ipad. I'm not crazy about the ipad but am taking a look at it, leaning towards a netbook.
Just wondering what some of you take with you for these sort of things without lugging around a giant laptop all the time.
