Subject: RE: Ipad vs laptopI don't have an ipad but several laptops (non apple ), a hp touchpad dual boot android and web os, and jb iphone. I personally feel my tablet is just a smartphone with a bigger screen. There's hardly much difference in terms of usability, power, etc. 99% of apps on the tablet are available on the phone.
I personally cannot live without a laptop/desktop just because of the speed of typing, the ease of the external mouse, software, etc. For example, I could never imagine doing my tax returns on a tablet. For me, it would just take forever. Let me tab here, then type here, tab there, ugh. But that's just a personal preference. Anyways, you get the idea.
But here's my general logic:
If (Don't need to type much and can live with no external mouse )
{
If (you own smartphone )
{
buy laptop; //smallest possible, maybe a netbook
}
else
{
if ( (tech savy ) && (like to tinker with internals and file system, etc ) )
{
buy android based tablet or ipad (then jb );
}
else
{
buy ipad;
}
}
}
else
{
buy laptop; //smallest possible, maybe a netbook
}
