Your sleek little Android tablet is easy to carry, so why not make it your travel computer?

I love my Thinkpad, but my go-anywhere travel companion is an Android tablet. I could spend a giant pile of money on something sleek and lightweight like a MacBook Air, Dell XPS 13, or Lenovo’s X1 Carbon, which includes a proper trackpoint. These have screen sizes from 11″ to 14″, good battery life, and enough memory and CPU to do real work.
