And for those of us whose regular workspace is Windows (or Mac) centric**? Or who don’t want to be continually tethered to the internet just to write? Don’t get me wrong–I find my Android tablet very useful, but I don’t do any real work (that is, writing and research) on it. But for $280 I can find a solid used ThinkPad that duplicates my desktop work machine in all but storage capacity, screen size, and keyboard comfort–and even those limitations can be remedied in a pinch via a docking station. (I don’t write on the road any more and never did find the coffee-shop environment attractive, so extreme portability isn’t an issue.)
**And I’m not even a Microsoft application user–I’m so old that I still use WordPerfect and a Gateway 101-key keyboard.
