When looking in the market for a new computer, many people have increasingly come to favour the iPad as a useful option that provides both portability and functionality at a price that is affordable. However, in what circumstances should you opt for an iPad and will it be better suited to you than a more traditional netbook, laptop or even desktop PC? Should you favour the purchase of an iPad over an upgrade for your laptop?
The traditional laptop and the Apple iPad offer two very difference experiences - the iPad is more of a multimedia application that gives the user the ability to carry a lightweight device that is internet enabled and doesn't take up much room in the average size carry case. The laptop on the other hand can be seen as an option for the more serious consumer - while many businesses have invested in iPads as a morale boosting measure for their workforce, the main drawback to using an iPad is the storage capacity and the lack of a USB port. If you're a day to day user, and you do a lot of typing, then the iPad may not be the right choice for you.
The main advantage to purchasing a laptop or notebook over the iPad is the opportunity to perform more standard actions using the device such as using a word processor. While the majority of the tasks that can be done on a laptop can also be done using an iPad, it's fairly easy to acknowledge that the traditional laptop makes it far easier to type and deal with the writing of documents on the move. However, the Apple iPad does boast a battery life upwards of 10 hours, which compares favourably against most laptops - particularly more heavy duty systems which drain battery life.
All things considered, the decision for most business people usually comes down to longevity - how long will the Apple iPad's storage space of a maximum of just 64GB actually last? This is an important consideration when you look at how easy it is to pick up a laptop in the UK with storage space in excess of 300GB for around £300.
