i don’t want to make advertising, but i found an affordable product for backpacker : a 12 inch tablet with a weight of 520g.
When a 10 inch tablet is 400g, and a 13.3 inch laptop is nearly 1kg, a 12 inch/520g is a good screen size weight/ratio. What do you think ? (Note : no direct advertising for a product, only features and why it could be a good product for backpacker)

    Are people backpacking with laptops and tablets? Like for wilderness backpacking, not hostel hopping through Europe backpacking? When I’m in the woods the last thing I want to look at is a glowing screen.

      backpacker can be also a long-term travellers who just want a backpack, hike from time to time, but have also a kind of entertainement when hostel hopping. Depends on your priority indeed

      For my more backcountry / splitboarding trips I could see a tablet being more and more useful but for hiking I’m good with just my phone
