It will also be funny when those things shatter at a rate of one per day. My 18 month old slaps through the pages and tries out apps while my four-year-old is a champ at almost all the games. You can do all of this — and more. Would I say the same thing about the iPod Touch or iPhone. The iPad is more comfortable for all of these things and makes for a good hotel room companion. A somewhat-close comparison today in terms of portability, anyway is likely a netbook — one of those mini notebook computers that have recently become popular.
Although, it could be argued that even though the iPad does less, what it does well, it does very well. So, it comes down to what you need the gadget for, and whether the iPad or a netbook better serves that need.
Other new gadgets are entering the market, so there will be more options available. No waiting. As a side note, the MacBook Air has near instant — very convenient. If you have ever taught someone how to use a computer, you know how difficult it can be for an inexperienced person to navigate a computer operating system.
Not so with the iPad. The learning curve is refreshingly gentle. In my mind, this same simplicity is what drove the success of the iPhone, perhaps more so than its multi-touch display and other innovative features.
The iPad is designed as a touch device, so the interface is made for finger interaction. Tablet computers that use conventional operating systems like Windows 7 are clumsy to use by comparison. The onscreen keyboard is quite good as well although, power users will likely still want to have the optional wireless keyboard. Compared to a conventional computer, the iPad gives you many more hours of use between charges. And, there are many amazing apps that take full advantage of the tablet format.
Although I have looked, I have yet to find a good handwriting app. This makes handwriting awkward for anything other than a few short words at a time with very large letters. The iPad can be a real treat on the road. Sidecar is a wonderful tool for extending your MacBook screen real estate. As a writer, I started to value every inch of space on my screen. I often need to multitask and view a number of programs at the same time. The bigger the iPad — the better.
Not everyone owns multiple computers. A simple reason can be portability. The big If you mainly use your iPhone to make calls, text, check email and Facebook, and find your way around, let your iPhone lag behind and upgrade to a new iPad every two years. You'll get a more powerful and useful device for less cost.
If you aren't tied to Windows or macOS because of a specific piece of software, the iPad can make a great alternative to a laptop.
It's more portable, has more features packed into it than the standard laptop, supports adding a wireless keyboard for those who don't like typing on a screen, and can be cheaper than an average laptop. You may be able to do all that with your smartphone, but this may be impractical if you need to use your device for heavy research, writing papers or proposals, or working with spreadsheets. Smartphones pack enough power to do many of these tasks, but it's not always comfortable on a small screen.
If you want a larger device, all you need to do is decide which version of the iPad is best for you. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
