A mobile lifestyle.

As time goes on, the combination of laptop and smartphone has proven to be the most useful for my needs. It gives me the computer power, and the portability, that allows me to make the most out of things.

While there are desktop computers that are much more powerful than the laptop I use as my daily driver, they don't give me the portability I want. Besides, I don't really need much computing power, and most middle of the market laptops give me more than enough for my needs. But most importantly, laptops are just a better fit for my lifestyle, both at my work and personal life.

Tablets simply don't fit my needs as well as smartphones do, specially on the go or when I'm with friends or family. When I'm not at home, or at work, a smartphone is the best fit to communicate or to the information I need on the fly. My smartphone is the better option, in ways a tablet would be a bit to cover-some.

Most importantly for me, is that the laptop and smartphone combination suits my lifestyle the best. I can be on the move, and do what I need to do wherever I am at the moment. More often than not, I don't need to wait to be at a certain place, or time, to be able to do something. Most importantly, I'm always in touch with those I care about, or to access information I need.

It has been about a decade that I've know that I had no use for desktops, or tablets, but the pandemic solidified that laptops are the best option for me for work. Other than that, smartphones cover the rest of the needs that laptops can't cover, specially when I'm on the move and I can't really stop long enough to use my laptop.

At the end of the day, I've come to value the freedom of movement that the combination of laptop and smartphone brings with it.
