I was one of those people who said "who needs an Ipad? why not just get a laptop.... it does more!". Then I got one about a month ago and I can honestly say I jut pure ignorant!
Firstly though... if you buy an iPad expecting it to replace your laptop, you will be disapointed. Lets get a few things out the way here.
1) An iPad isn't and never was designed to replace either a PC or a laptop. Its a tablet device which compliments either a PC, Mac or a laptop.
2) An iPad has one massive disadvantag to a laptop, and that is the ease of transferring data. It has no DVD drive or USB slot!
Now if we look at what the iPad is and does offer... its an amazing piece of technology which can massive potential for use and funcationality.
The main things I use mine for are...
1) Word processing and spreadsheet creation.
2) Painting and drawing.
3) Internet browsing.
4) Music, videos and podcasts.
5) Gaming.
6) Reading.
7) Emails.
You can't judge an iPad or any technology unless you know what functonality and you see how well it does those. All the above are what I required or found I could do, and now use my iPad for such. The iPad fits my needs and requirements.
In essence, the iPad is a bigger, massive version of an iPhone, but so what? It works!
Word processing and spreadsheet creation works a charm. Typing couldnt be easier, and with a wide range of word processing "apps" to buy and use, you have ample choice. There are even "apps" which read and create MS documents too.
Internet Browsing, despite the lack of flash, is spot on. Most websites now are moving away from flash or offer a free "app" to download and use. For example, the BBCIplayer offers a free "app" because the main website users flash and it works a charm.
Email management is easy enough with pre-installed apps.
Music, videos and podcasts all work the same way as on the iPhone.
Reading is a nice experience - and you can use either iBook or the Kindle app or many others to read with.
Gaming offers litterally hundreds or thousands of games to play for free or purchase.
As for the painting and drawing... that was originally just something I was curious about, but after downloading a couple of "apps" and buying a stylus, i've found the iPad to be very good at creating original art work.
From my experience the iPad has a few advantages over a laptop, if you need some:
1) Its far more compact and eaier to lighter to carry around in a bag.
2) A lot easier to hold in your hand or lap and type into.
3) An iPad doesnt become hot when holding it, like some laptops can.
4) The battery life is GREAT! I've had a few laptops in the past and most have died after about 2 hours. My iPad is stll going and with lots of juice left after just half the day being left turned on.
Obviously if you use the iPad excessively, the battery goes down quicker... but it still lasts a lot longer.
Then you have the thousanads of free and purchaseable "apps" which expand the functionality of the iPad far beyond what you might expect. Compare this to a laptop, where you might have to spend about £10+ to get a piece of software on your machine to do something which you can either get for free or pay a lot less for on an iPad.
As I said above.... laptops do offer more processing power, more functionality like DVDs and easier data transfer and more complex software. But if all you need is a small amount of functionality, and you dont need all the bells and whistles of a laptop... consider an iPad.
The only thing I would mark against an iPad (and this is optional) is that you will likely end up spending MORE money on accessories like protective casings and bags and perhaps a keyboard. If so, it can add a further £100+ to what you already spend.
