Quotes About Portability

Gold is valuable because of its naturally occurring properties: it's scarce, durable, portable, divisible, fungible, hard to counterfeit, and easy to authenticate

As a kid growing up, I was a huge gamer - The NES, SuperNES, N64, GameCube - and I had a GameBoy, which went everywhere with me.

I have a pro tools rig that I carry in my backpack.

I haven't fully moved over to the iPad. At any given time, I have about four DVDs in my pocket. I'm constantly screening 'Top Chef,' 'Housewives,' and all the other shows we have in development, racing to meet a deadline. So I pretty much bring my laptop everywhere.

I love my iPhone it's great to have a camera around all the time.

I think smartphones are one of humanity's most remarkable creations: computers are amazing enough, but a supercomputer you can carry in your pocket and communicate instantly with anyone, anywhere... it's no wonder they're troublingly addictive.

A friend of mine created an email ID for me, and I was completely hooked soon after. I would mail friends constantly and lug my laptop everywhere just to listen to some music.

I do indeed write on the road. My laptop goes with me everywhere.

I think we live in a multi-device world. You're gonna have a tablet computer. Like an iPad or one of it's competitors. You're gonna have a smart phone. You're gonna have a laptop. You know, the tablet computer isn't going to displace the laptop because there are times when you want to write a long memo or a long email message or an article ... if you want to sit down and read a 300 page book, the kindle is the perfect device.

I'm not much of a reader; I'm more of a laptop person. I would never consider travelling without it.

My laptop has freed me to travel.

I favor pocket-sized hard drives that travel between home and office, syncing with computers on both ends.

When I first reviewed the iPad, I wrote that, to succeed, 'It will have to prove that it really can replace the laptop or netbook for enough common tasks, enough of the time, to make it a viable alternative.'

I'm carrying an iPhone 5. I like this device. It's been impressive. I have a Windows and an Android device... I carry an iPad. I carry a Kindle... Yeah, I have a lot of devices.

The computers people have are no longer on their desks but in their hands, and that is probably the transformative feature of the technology. These computers are with you, in the world.

I can't live without my 15-inch MacBook Pro. I drag it everywhere I go. I love having a big screen with me at all times, especially in transit.

Big screens helped propel Samsung to top-tier prominence and helped iPhone sales explode a few years later. But for many, including myself, the biggest-screen models just weren't practical, because their overall size made them too large, too bulky, and too heavy.

I found the iPad to be too large and heavy to use comfortably in casual situations (like reading in bed, for example), and too limited to use as a replacement for my laptop. By comparison, the Nexus 7 is just the right size for use anywhere - it's very similar in size to my daughter's Kindle Fire, but lighter.

The Nexus 7 is about the same size as a Moleskine notebook, and it just 'feels' like the right form factor for doing all those things you want to do on a smart phone, but can't quite do in the right way. It's not too big, and not too small - just right.

I think e-books are terrific in their own right. I love being able to get on a plane and basically carry around seven books and it weigh 10 ounces.

Portability also explains why many old chests and trunks had domed lids- to throw off water during travel. The great drawback of trunks, of course, is that everything has to be lifted at to get things at the bottom. It took a remarkably long time- till the 1600s- before it occurred to anyone to put drawers in and thus convert trunks into chests of drawers.

I'm not a techie, but I don't know how I lived without an iPad! Mine comes with me everywhere. As greatest inventions go, it's up there with electricity and cars.

I think that some people will never buy a computer because I think now we're at the point where the iPad does what some people want to do with their PCs.
