Meanwhile, I&#x27;ve been using an Sony Xperia Z tablet for a couple of years. It&#x27;s starting to get old, but Sony have updated it to Lollipop which I think is fair enough.<p>In my mind, it&#x27;s a better experience than any of the iPads of various version that I also have, and it is also rock solid.<p>But really, laptop replacement? Even with a keyboard both an iPad or any Android device will suck. My poor kids are using their iPads in school, but if I had to do serious work with it, I&#x27;d probably go insane.
