My key concerns with this decision are - a filing system, ability to store and manipulate ones extensive legacy data set, and perhaps use of a full size keyboard on a flat surface. iOs is good for the portability thing, but a real, if small real pc still has fundamental things I couldn't afford to lose. I think basic editing, good as one thinks iOs is, is still a pain in the doodaa compared to how we used to write with arror key navigation, insert at the point of your choosing, and stay there until you changed it with appropriate arrow/control keys, and so on. I can scribble mindlessly in Notepad, hopefully ditto in Mac's equivalent; and never got this freedon in iOs even yet, and despite what has been said and done. Ok, it can be done, it has been done, if you work at it long enough.
I'm all for having a real 'puter for the real work, even if we use our iDevices for the quick and immediate; as feeder to the main work device.

I'm considering buying my first laptop. What do you use a computer for that an ode vice can't do? Also, is VoiceOver any different on a Mac than on an iPhone? How does it compare with jaws? Unlike the iPhone, does it know Hebrew? Can it cope with it if knows Hebrew Braille but doesn't have an appropriate voice synthesizer? Again, I hope this isn't too OT.
