My hope is cash allowance and a minimum requirement to be met for spec. Choose your own, download necessary apps and carry on.
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.

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.

If true, I hope its a true competition of products and suitability. I don't think that happened with the Surface decision. Didn't we hear Mr Anderson thought Apple stuff was too expensive and weren't we a Microsoft corporate partner? And.. that was why we didn't get IPads in the first place? Now after 2 Surfaces and 2 funky mounts we are going to a hard mount.. and an IPad.. like should have been done day one.. OK, basic question to anyone who knows: Who gets a bonus for this equine excrement? OFG

What boggles the mind is that it took this long. Classic sunk-cost fallacy.

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.
