Sign up for Crashplan. For casual users it's easy to set-and-forget, and then you're covered in case of robbery, fire or lightning strike.

I have the same email feed on the tablet as on the desktop. If I need a desktop file on the road, I VPN in from the tablet using iTeleport and plop a copy of the file into Dropbox so I can access it directly from the tablet. The limitation of the tablet is not that I can't access every file, but that I can't make use of every format (PSD, for example) on the tablet. But in my vase, I just don't need Photoshop on the road - though in a pinch, given fast wireless, I could run my CS5 on the desktop remotely in iTeleport.
And this isn't a "scenario." This is my actual workflow.
But a big desktop will outperform that big laptop, on a much larger screen, for a about a thousand dollars less, and over a permanently wired Ethernet connection that totally smokes your fastest WiFi.
After having been a 17" laptop user for years, I just upgraded to desktop plus tablet. Instead of having one machine that is slightly too big for the road and slightly too small for the office, I now have a better combination at less total cost. So long as you don't have to run the same set of big-system applications on the road that you need at the office, this will work. Example: I wouldn't want to run heavy-duty word processing on the tablet, but with my Bluetooth keyboard I can type as fast as I want into the Word Processor Lite app on the tablet, and then get it publication-ready on the big screen later.
On the road, a small inconspicuous device has a lot of advantages over that huge MacBook Pro that screamed "Steal Me!" wherever I went. The search for WiFi is simpler. I can breeze through the airport without even taking the tablet out. And you may mock my walled garden, but I respond, "What's a virus?"
If your concern is "environmental" in any way, conventional scientific evidence is not required. You just gather up some "concerned" housewives, claim that radiation, genetics, or chemicals are involved, and you can ban anything you want.
Because Antarctica has no signals or stop signs to blow through. For cyclists this, not the mercury-freezing cold or the 10,000' hills, makes it an alien, forbidding environment.
Remember, boys and girls: melting ice proves that the climate is warming up; freezing ice in midsummer, on the other hand, proves that the climate is warming up.
One item on every computer user's wishlist would be to use some of that Internet metadata to identify the gang behind the Cyptolocker virus and have them rendered to some regime that will torture them to death live on Al Jazeera while the whole world applauds.
Naturally, the appearance in the middle of the summer of ice so thick that the icebreakers of multiple polefaring nations cannot penetrate it is proof of anthropogenic warming. You criticize our teachings in any way, and we will beat you to death with our sacred hockey sticks in the East District of Texas. Meanwhile, our last hope is to send in Chuck Norris with a shipload of thermite.
If, after you drop your roll of quarters (or renminbi equivalent) into the machine and the car does not quite drop off the end of the rack, call for help. Rocking this vending machine could be fatal.
At the time of my last job in corporate (major CRM developers), the company bought Alienware towers to run as servers. Fast, cheap, and ran Windows Server '03 just fine.
There's an even better way to cheap out: wait until the first upgrade, and then buy a year-old Mac Pro on the refurb market. There are a surprising number of fans who absolutely must have the latest-and-greatest, even if the incremental performance is minor. So to continue the example cited in this article, you can get a real Mac Pro for even less when it's a year old, and you're not even stuck with having to run Windows on it.
Our goal with drone warfare is to make you people fear us as much as you hate us, that's all. Now go have yourself a great Solstice Festival of Death, or whatever it is you do this time of year.
That's what is so great about the Church of Warminetics, and what distinguishes it from the dull "science" that preceded it. A scientific hypothesis is falsifiable, meaning that there is some set of data inputs that if observed in the field would render the hypothesis false. Now that unusually cold weather or unusually rainy weather is as valid a proof of warming as heat and drought, none may question the Maoist priesthood that threatens to yank the credentials of any researcher who threatens the apocalyptic Warmist message.

That's why God invented VMware.

They also stopped making 17" laptops, unless you want to settle for (ptui) Windows.

And why bang your head against the wall trying to run Linux on it? A primary advantage of having a real Apple is being able to run real OS X on it.

But she still has to call for your help whenever she has to reach around in back to plug in her 256M flash stick.
So you can protect your files with Cryptolocker.

No, think of the poor Venetian magistrates who are now unable to pay their gondoliers. Are they marooned in the Canale Grande?
The truth is only defamatory in the UK.
Not so. Monday morning in Dubai was two hundred years ago. That is, however, still several centuries ahead of Saudi.

I'm sure that your beloved floppy drives and serial port cards are available from someone as USB 3.0 connections.
And furthermore, the volcanic gases wafting through the upper atmosphere blocked our view of sunspots, causing the Maunder Minimum.
