I carry my laptop with me also (photographer also) so I'd looooove to have one device (iPad pro) to do it all on the road.
The best option is BYOD(because privacy) with the new iPad pro with iOS 11. This is very very close to a complete laptop replacement.
Also, to gszg's point, we should have access to not only weather, but the performance, and dispatch functions that a tablet can do. There is no reason we should have to look at paper charts to find performance data, driftdown speeds, holding data, etc. We should also be able to do any manual weight, and balance calculations automatically on the iPad. All this stuff is currently available for GA years ago.
