So what does this hypothetical better-than-iPad general-purpose portable computing device do, that her laptop isn't doing already? I'm still waiting for *a* point.

Have you actually used an iPad?
You did not explain anything at all in your two most recent replies, and now you are trying to insult me.
All you've done is you're repeatedly making some extremely vague promises of "something even more useful", "so much more to do":

I have already clarified that we also have several other devices (including laptops, desktops, servers) which are already running whatever we throw at them. How would adding (for example) a second laptop, or some other "more useful" (which?) device actually provide more value to someone, whose primary occupation is making art, often on the go - in the nature, in a cafe? Expecting a full day's charge, a very bright screen, first-class support for pencil input? Again, she already has a laptop that runs "whatever you throw at it".
Are you going to argue that I should carry a laptop to check the time, as opposed to a phone or a wristwatch?
