That hostel owner in Medellin made me question my whole work setup
She said she's been running her guesthouse from a $200 tablet for two years while I stress over $3,000 in laptops and monitors, and now I'm wondering if the gear is the point or if I just like carrying heavy bags, has anyone else downsized their kit after a chat like that?

Whoa, a $200 tablet? That’s wild. I can barely run a spreadsheet on my phone without wanting to toss it across the room. I get the whole "gear is a crutch" idea, but two years of running a guesthouse on that tiny screen sounds like a special kind of patience. My back hurts just thinking about my own setup, but honestly, maybe the real flex is just knowing what you actually need. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I’d probably cry if I had to type a review on a tablet all day.

Right, cause who needs a functioning back when you can have a $200 tablet that probably doubles as a doorstop. Sounds like a real masterclass in masochism to me, but hey, at least the reviews are honest.
