The iPad is amazing. The iPad sucks. The iPad is this. The iPad is that. In total, it just sounds like some feminine hygiene product. Everyone has their opinions. But this question is real: Does the iPad have what it takes to replace your laptop?
The question not only goes hand and hand in the iPad, but also with what laptop you currently have. If you have crappy laptop, then chances are is that the iPad can replace it. However, if you just bought a brand new MacBook, then I doubt the iPad can do much replacing.
Let's look into the main differences between "normal" laptops and the iPad.
The Screen - Like I just said, we will be comparing a "normal" laptop to the iPad. These are standard specs one would find in a brand new every day computing laptop. First off, when comparing the screen, the every day laptop will generally have a larger screen than the iPad which is 9.7 inches. Now of course, the iPad has the awesome multi touch capability. And trust me, that's pretty awesome.
Keyboard - The iPad has a touch screen keyboard which isn't the easiest to use. However, you can buy an external normal sized keyboard for the device, making it the same as a laptop.
Programs - Now as we all know, the iPad can't get flash, but it can get awesome programs that are near identical to Microsoft Office. This set of programs comes in a package. It is called iWork.
Conclusion - In the end, can the iPad replace your laptop? Well, my dear friend, the answer depends on you and your needs. In my opinion, I still need my laptop, but sure, I'd love to add an iPad to my everyday items!
