Get a 2-in-1 Chromebook. Thin, light, cheap. If you want to use
it as a tablet; fine. If you just have to have a laptop; open it
all the way up. I happen to have one, and it works great as a
tablet, but most often, I use it as a laptop. It runs almost
everything Android, which are like miniature tablets these days.
If you need to run something more sophisticated, they also run
Linux in a VM (container actually).

My wife is busy (for months) planning some travel for
this fall. She told me I am not taking my laptop. Too big,
too heavy etc etc. (I actually left it on a train at
Heathrow once, had enough time to go catch that same train
and found it.)But I digress.
She says I can have an iPad. I acquiesce due to the fact
that she micro manages these trips and I don’t have to do a
thing. She likes it that way and I like it that way. I
just go where I am told to go and I pay. She makes sure I
have clean clothes and the proper tickets needed for travel
as well as hotel rooms. It is actually pretty wonderful.
She teams up with my UK son-in-law as he is like this too.
But again, I digress.
I know almost zero about iPads. I need a human size
keyboard. Hopefully one with keys that physically move. I
would like to be able to plug in an HDMI monitor too.
Mouse?
Dear Borg, what are my options?
