I've been writing about laptops for about 15 years now, but long before I was covering them for a living, I was using them for schoolwork.
These days, I review laptops for a living here at Tom's Guide, which is convenient since I often have to travel for meetings and events. Taking my work on the go with me actually helps me write better, more informed laptop reviews, but I still loathe flying because the cramped conditions on board planes make laptops a pain to use.
