If you're not in a computer-toucher job like IT, there really isn't much reason to touch an actual computer these days.

Honestly I use my iPad for 90% of my browsing and general home use. I use my laptop for specific purposes but it's mostly just the iPad. If I could commit to using a magic keyboard with it I probably would never use my laptop.

So I'm kinda with your husband on this one.

Like, I'm not even kidding, he did our taxes on his iPad, when he wants to write a long email he drags out a Bluetooth keyboard and sits at our coffee table. :shrug:

This always baffles me. I hate using File Explorer - no preview, no tabbed windows, no displaying folder sizes, and it can't even properly alphabetically sort files and folders together properly.
