Do you "work" off of an Android tablet?

Meaning, do you use an Android tablet for actual real productivity work throughout the day and if so what types?

I have an Asus Transformer Infinity which I bought at the end of 2012 and it's mostly been a novelty. I was thinking of buying the keyboard for it and trying to replace a work laptop...

what do you mean by work?

I have the transformer and the asus keyboard(which has a HUGE battery in it)

I can console into equipment, run most of the webtools we have from it, and ssh to stuff, and RDP to my desktop

its great for that, not having to lug the stupid 15.6" 9lb laptop I was given all over the campus I work on....

Since my tablet is a nook HD+, I don't use it for work really. Although I have used it sort of for work when I was looking at some websites I designed to see how it looked/responded on a mobile browser.

But only use it to surf the internet and read books on. With the occasional game like clash of clans.

screen is too damn small for me to do real work on it. dunno how those of you that RDP for work can get much done. i've done it with the nexus 7 and the dvp8 and it's just tedious.

My Note Pro has larger screen than all the Surface Pros, even the 3rd one.

From my experience, for 1-2 days work travel it is perfect. Much lighter than a laptop would be, and it had all I need (edit Word/Excel/Powerpoint documents) for the purpose of that travel. Reading PDFs of tech documents and annotate it and taking notes were a joy.

I brought a standalone BT keyboard for typing so it's not a problem. There's no shortage of entertainment when I have time to kill, either (games, movies/tv shows through streaming, etc). And I can always RDP if I really needed it (it hasn't happened so I haven't tried).

I don't know if I will feel the same for a longer work trip, say a week or so, but for a couple of days, it's completely fine.

The game is free, and they don't force you to buy premium items to level up like some freemium games do.

I do no work on the tablets, that's what the laptop excels at.
