Using the iPad as Your Main Computer

One question I have heard asked by many people considering a purchase of the iPad is whether or not the iPad can be used as a main computer.  What people usually mean by asking this question is they want to know if the iPad can do everything they currently do on their current computer and do it efficiently enough to make them not miss having their laptop or desktop computer.

The simple answer to this question is, yes, an iPad can function fairly well as a “main computer.”   If you are not an extremely heavy computer user and mostly use your current computer for editing documents, surfing the web, and writing emails, having the iPad as your main device works very well and can be a very workable solution.

If you plan on the iPad being your main computing device, there are some accessories that you will want to seriously consider purchasing to make this the most efficient setup possible.  The accessories in the following list are strongly recommended if you plan on making the iPad your main computer.

Apple Wireless Keyboard

While the touchscreen keyboard of the iPad is tolerable for shorter emails and for web browsing, most people will find that they type significantly more slowly and less accurately on the iPad than they do on a standard computer keyboard.  If the iPad is going to be your main computing device, you will want to purchase the Apple Wireless Keyboard.  The wireless keyboard is very quick and easy to set up and use with the iPad when the time comes to pound out longer emails and documents.  If you own the original iPad, you may also want to look at the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock.  (Because the iPad 2 is a slightly different shape, it doesn’t fit and sit quite as nicely in the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock.)

The Apple Wireless Keyboard is available now on the Apple online store for $69.00.

Apple MacBook Pro MC724LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop | savingwonder.info

The new MacBook Pro notebooks have several major new features: Intel Core i5 and i7 Processors with Turbo Boost Technology, Thunderbolt the next generation of I/O, new AMD Radeon Graphics, and FaceTime HD camera. The 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro now feature quad-core Intel Core i7 processors. And the 13-inch models jump to dual-core Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. New Thunderbolt technology lets you connect high-performance peripherals and high-resolution displays to one port – with data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps. Thunderbolt is based on two fundamental technologies: PCI Express and DisplayPort. And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, the video standard for high-resolution displays, any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port. To connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA display, just use an existing optional adapter. AMD Radeon graphics on the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro are up to 3x faster than those in previous models, so you can take everything from games to CAD to HD video projects anywhere. FaceTime makes full-screen HD video calls that are astonishingly crisp. And thanks to the new widescreen format, you can get your friends in the picture, too. And with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and iLife ‘11, you’re sure to get a great Mac notebook – all in a precision aluminum unibody enclosure that’s less than an inch thin. 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 1280-by-800 resolution Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory 8x SuperDrive (DVD+-R DL/DVD+-RW/CD-RW) AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Wireless (based on IEEE 802.11n specification) Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR 10/100/1000 Gigabit BASE-T Ethernet SDXC Card Slot FaceTime HD Camera Audio Stereo speakers with subwoofer, omnidirectional microphone Expansions – 2 x USB 2.
