For example, an iPad wouldn't solve my problem.
My use case is that I have both Mac and Linux computers, I don't commute with a computer except for conferences and such, and when I get back from work to home I want to have all my data automatically in either Linux or Mac, without having to do anything, in the computers I have at home.
I achieve this with unison. If I was working on something in my office, and I want to carry on at home in another computer when I get back, I don't have to do anything, other than start working, because all my files are already there automatically and in the same place. And this works quite nicely, and I have done it for 20 years+. It feels like I am in the same computer even if it isn't.
But with tablets this doesn't work. Their software is not compatible, their data is not compatible, and the software I want is not there.
I do have a wonderful Wacom One tablet, which is nothing other than a second screen with a pen. And I have two, actually, one at home and one at work. The problem is that it doesn't work on its own, and requires a complicated cable to connect to the computer, and so it is not a practical portable solution.
