I remember the first time I saw the term "road warrior" and I thought it was one of the silliest things I'd seen.
People doing rote work, inflating themselves by titling what they do as a sport or something. No different from "sanitation enginerr".
So if you have to schlep your trunk around selling shower curtain rings, calling yourself a "road warrior" lets you sidestep the mundane nature of your work, and the reason you need the laptop is to send orders to the front office, not to do anything creative.
