For more or less the same price you can purchase either a mid to top end Windows-based laptop or a entry-level Macbook. You could also purchase a top-end tablet which would have many of the same mobile features.

Besides, in a couple of years time the spec of the S6 will be standard in most mobile phones at a fraction of the cost. Plus, all the bugs (if any) will be ironed out by then.

I have the decent laptop and phone (which does everything I need it to and more - Office, emails, apps), with the unlimited data, messages and hundreds of minutes, with change left over.

With being on the road and using my phone as my office, I could have spent a fortune. Not sure what else it would have offered me, apart from fine tuning.

With both phone and laptop being 8.1, the constant syncing between the two, backing up of files, photos and compatibility with apps (once on one device, it can transfer to the other), gives lots of peace of mind.
