Seeing a friend troubleshoot a server from his iPhone was an eye opener 
for me.  In that particular instance it was a problem he had dealt with 
before and he had a PDF with the necessary incantations to restart a 
complex job pre-stored on his iPhone.  Yes, this would have been easier 
on a larger screen, but for that he would have had to go home or into 
work.

I am impressed by the look of the Dell XPS 12 convertible "Ultrabook". 
It has a fold away keyboard which is neat.
