I don't want to see the thread go sideways into OS debates, but I should mention my aversion to Windows is based on what I read here about W10 updating itself automatically. We will be on a Verizon data plan, and I can't have anything downloading big data outside of my control. Otherwise I'm okay with Windows.

I originally used the DELL M90 LAPTOPS Workstations which has the DOCKING STATION connectors on the bottom of them. My OFF-ROAD POPUP camping has a place to plug in my M90 and this then is connected to the Dual monitors, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, and additional ham radio interface items. This was neat as you you just pull the laptop from the home setup and snap it into place in the POPUP TRAILER - no additional cables/wiring needed.

This worked great until my M90's had to be stopped from being used when the XP support ended a couple years back. My newer DELL LAPTOPs don't support this type of docking stations so now I have to plug in several cables now to get them to function like I used to have in my OFF-ROAD POPUP. I have been meaning to purchase one of those docking stations that runs from the high speed USB ports but haven't done it yet. This unit would eliminated most of the external connections for the DELL Laptops for me...

My VERIZON MIFI setup in my OFF-ROAD trailer supports up to five of our WIFI devices when on the road which is neat to have so everything almost looks like my setup at home...

Running everything on the same LAPTOP has its benefits for sure...

yep, Dell has a few 2 in ones that I am salivating over.
the only reason I would want a $99 pencil is to make Jobs spin around in his grave.

If you are already used to a MacBook Air, an iPad model of your choosing matched with the Apple Bluetooth keyboard for $69 is a great choice. I really love the keyboard, and it would be a great addition for camping.

You'll just have to wait another month or two and kick in another $100 for an entry level model. Oh yeah, the Apple Pencil will go for $99, while the Smart Keyboard will sell for $169.
