Test - Playbook to Replace them all
So I am about to test out how much work and play I do with my playbook. I am off to a business + pleasure trip tomorrow for 2 days, and I am leaving my private laptop (a Dell 1537 laptop - weight: about 2.5 kg...) home and I am travelling with:
* my trusted playbook, in a soft case
* 5 meter long HDMI cable
* hdmi to hdmi connector
* normal to mini HDMI cable
* playbook charger
* earphones
* of course, my passport :)
So far, I have copied videos (music videos, movies, etc), music colection and documents (word, excel, pdf) and power point presentations that I am going to give in a workshop. All this is now safely stored on the playbook - transferred over WiFi. I am a bit nervous when it comes to by power point presentation, but have informed the workshop organiser to arrange for a projector that has an HDMI connector. I have installed Citrix app from app world, so that should keep me connected with the office e-mail. As a test, I am leaving the playbook USB data cable behind, and thus force myself to use wireless solutions. BlackBerry bridge is up and running with my other trusted friend: BlackBerry Torch 9800.
I am sure someone has done this before, but since I really want to start replacing the laptops with my playbook, I thought this would be a good test and make me understand how far I can take the replacement of a laptop with the playbook. I will write my observations, pros and cons and other thoughts either as I travel or after my return.
I still have 12 hours before I depart, so if someone think I have missed out anything, then please feel free to comment.
Yes, it�s good the Playbook could do this but��..

When I have a need to go somewhere to do a presentation, I put it on a USB memory stick. I also have a wireless remote with a USB stick. Most Large screen would have a computer hooked up to it. I just plug USB Wireless remote and my memory stick to the computer. The wireless remote also has a laser pointer built in. I can control the presentation anywhere in the room.
These two devices hardly weight anything. Much easier to set up.
