I RARELY ever need to type anything of any length, or do any work in Office-type software. I have a home desktop PC that would be my primary either way, and, like has previously been mentioned, hotel business centers and FBOs almost always have a public-use PC available should the need arise. I am leaning heavily towards the ipad, but just wanted to rekindle the discussion here to get more opinions.
