Question for english native speakers: "you are with" or " you have"
Hey everyone, I would like to ask for the people who are english native speaker few things which I was wondering if it is or not correct to say...
The sentence: "you are with your ipad and computer, can you check this information, please?"
Checking: "you are with":
1) Is it wrong to say "you are with" some object?
2) In this sentence, can you only use "you are with" for people?
3) Is it more common use "you are with" people than some object?
4) Would be better to say: "you have" instead?
(Ex.: " you have your ipad and computer next to you, can you check this information, please?")
5) Do you have some other suggestion about it?

Saying that "you are with" an object isn't necessarily grammatically wrong, but it's not the way we say it. When we're talking about an object, we say "you have". So your sentence should be written "You have your ipad and computer, can you check this information, please?". If you're talking about people though, you would say "you are with".
