Just an iPad with a bluetooth keyboard attached.. not much different than a laptop, only lighter and more portable.. i use it for pretty much everything, including work, and i only really use my phone for calling, texting, google maps and listening to music while working out .

Had a Univac II but slow and the OS wouldn't run anything useful.
Upgraded to 128kb core memory and didn't make a huge difference.
Moved to an IBM 370, the maintenance fee was outrageous didn't keep it long.
Currently rockin a Control Data 70 with a dual monitor setup. Nice, I like one of the peripherals on this one.
My travel machine is a Heathkit Analog, nothing fancy but gets the job done.
Still, these are beginning to become somewhat limited and I'll probably move to X86 architecture soon.

All these jokes, are you old enough to have used any of that gear? In my first year in our “Computer Operations Center” I had to load tapes (mostly cartridge style and occasionally reel to reel.)
Looked like this:
The display on top would flash the tape number needed next and you’d retrieve it from the tape library.
Between loading tapes I ran a giant printer that looked like this:

Lol afraid so. Wire wrapped magnetic memory boards, vaccum tape drives, electrostatic printers and plotters, IBM punch cards for data, and loading programs with punched paper tape on a teletype machine.
Mostly though in a DEC PDP and VAX/VMS environment.
Bought an IBM PC in the early 80's (~ $5,000) to run in the lab just for grins. Thought it was a toy and wouldn't go anywhere.
Your welcome, Bill Gates.
