      @Fromage For word processing and browsing, yes. But for real work like app and web development, no. I used a really cheap laptop, cheaper than an iPad + keyboard case, back when I just started working. I'm from a poor family from a 3rd world country so it can't be helped. It's really slow but it works. You just need patience. An iPad can't do most of the things my laptop can. And honestly my phone can do most of the things an iPad can do, minus the big screen, of course.

      He's a technician because he was able to diagnose the laptop and know that all the client needed to do was to change the mechanical hard drive. The client gave him the laptop because it was freezing and booting slowly.
      He was hoping to get that fixed, that's why he gave a technician. Anything at all would have been the problem. From wrong registry files to BIOS to bad hardware. Anything
      So just because to solution was very easy doesn't mean he's a hypocrite for calling himself a technician.
