Yesterday Apple officially announced a 128GB version of the
fourth generation iPad. The new iPad doubles the storage capacity of the
previous one and prices will range from $799 to (Wi-Fi model) to $929 (Wi-Fi +
Cellular model). According to Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide
Marketing, Philip Schiller, “With twice the storage capacity…enterprises,
educators, and artists have even more reasons to use iPad for all their
business and personal needs.” While the iPad can be a very useful tool, could
it really be a viable replacement for a laptop or desktop computer? It
definitely depends on the needs of the individual or business, but for me
personally the iPad is nowhere near close to being a replacement for my macbook
pro. While there are some apps that are comparable between the two and there is
an abundance of IOS applications, there are some features and applications on
my macbook that really can’t be competed with at the moment.
So what are your thoughts? Would you be able to replace your
computer with an iPad (or any tablet)?
