				In my case it's mostly like this: when i take the thing with me i won't touch it the whole trip (basically carrying dead weight around 😂) and when i don't i'll regret it the very first day

				 ridecar23769yI would take a tablet with me.

				Never a question for me. I always bring my laptop everywhere, *especially* on holidays. Just to get that lines of code while on the plane/car and a few more on the hotel's lobby. 😀

				I'm in the corner, where I have to decide which and how many laptops I bring... 😜

				Thank you for all the tips. I decided to take it with me. Greetings from sunny Greece
