I'll be watching this thread to get ideas/feedback on this. I'm leaning more towards the iPad Air. Used an iPad 2 for a short trip and found with the little stand, it was OK typing once you got used to it. Takes a few days. Does most all what a computer can do, AFAIK.
More and more capability on the latest version iPad, now with Cellular and better WiFi ... so connectivity should be pretty good ... can be used as a phone with an App. Seems well set up for travel.
I've traveled with lap tops. They are good but just a bit large/ heavy and some can succumb to vibration. Also, target for theft ... but I guess they ALL are.
I'm amazed how tough the iPad is. It can take a drop or five and keep going, can be hidden in back pad pouch of riding jacket. My friend's kids (11 and 13) have had a iPad for over a year and can't break it. To me .. says a lot.
