Compare iPad to Laptop
Are you a Microsoft Windows user considering buying an Apple iPad?
For more than 25 years, I’ve been using Microsoft Windows. For the past few years, I’ve been using an HP/Compaq Windows “tablet” as my primary computer. I was seduced into pre-ordering an iPad by it’s slim size, light weight, and impressive 10 hour battery life. The moment I heard about the iPad, I knew that it would be an ideal tool for e-mailing, surfing the Internet, and reading. After using the iPad for several days now, I can say that it has exceeded my expectations. I am not an Apple fan boy, but I agree with many other reviewers that the Apple iPad is definitely revolutionary.
If all you do is eMail, correspondence, Internet Browsing, and Twitter or Facebook, then you can probably get by with the iPad as your primary daily computer. You can’t run specialized software on the iPad, so if you have an accounting, custom database, or fancy graphics program, then you may want an iPad just as a “traveling” computer that you use in your bed, easy chair, patio, bus or train ride or to take along as a daily planner.
Keep in mind that you’ll still need a Windows or Mac desktop computer to run the iTunes software needed to initially set up the iPad and transfer your picture and music
