  Yes, I take both laptop and tablet along. Now I have it, it would be
silly not to take the tablet and I *do* use it for something the laptop
'cannot' do, navigation. My navigator uses the tablet for a larger view,
zooming, panning, etc. and I use the same app on a smartphone to see
where the <hot_place>, I'm going! :-)

  'W10 apps'!? Go wash your mouth, boy! :-) But assuming you do not only
mean Metro/MDL-style apps, but also grown-up Windows programs, I *do*
need some - but not many - Windows programs when travelling.
