Certainly it has advantages over a laptop:
Simplicity, no noise, responsiveness and speed, no extra software and app downloads this puisquon quon wants better definition, books / pdf reading, variety of games, no CDs or other media. Jen and password
In short: on paper it BE any practical and innovative object.
Except she has big drawbacks: absent connectivity, use of many accessories that increase the price, very low capacity, run by compulsory itunes, need one computer, closed system, heavy weight for one handed use, file transfer difficult etc.
But in my opinion the use has changed beyond all And I prefer a laptop.
* The installation
We configure, backup, transfer and controls everything in two ways: iTunes or iCloud. ITunes allows you to manage data on computer, it is still a bit complicated the first time but this is the preferred solution because iCloud is limited by its online storage ...
* Ergonomics
iOS 6 is pure happiness, there are a lot of shortcuts, multi-finger gestures to return to the home screen etc. Ultra responsive. The screen is a marvel to use it only makes it too has but to compare I can tell you that this is the night and day, comfort for the eyes is increased.
* Applications:
Everything is included in to the origin, almost. Why The application clock and calculator are not on the iPad? Jai misunderstood
This is of good quality and can be synced via iCloud.
Recommended applications: weather (no matter which one), chains of TV app and catch up kind of replay, the app "tote" (USB key is a big word puisquon using itunes but it's that), iBooks, iphoto is interesting (nothing easier to make mods on your photos and diary function is innovative and fun to perform), Video (nimporte which, in any nachetez, try the free which perfectly Laffaire) flipboard, google chrome but especially that each AppGratuites day passes to a free pay app.
* Has the use:
A laptop sits on the knees and this is perfect. Here a tablet this is something Sitting on a sofa, you can put it on his lap but the head is bent and it hurts! Otherwise the tablet is brought to hand, but given the weight (increasing) we tend to ask in a few minutes. Honestly this is not practical and lon must change its habits. To read books, it's big, too well, the weight is super annoying that spoils the pleasure of this beautiful screen.
It heats a little bit at the end of a certain time (over 30 / 45min heat is felt).
At the autonomy announced 10 am, this revolves around 8am in use with wifi internet and books which is very good.
The lack of Flash support does not interfere, few will use that site, there is still no alternative to address them ..
Oh joubliais! HUGE black spot !!! Recharging takes time, lots of time, between 7 and 8 am to recharge in outlet, better load the overnight stay at the risk of sticking to the outlet.
* Accessories
I suggest an enclosure which protects the iPad completely (front and back) to avoid scratches. The dilemma is frustrating: we gain comfort of use but then the weight of the iPad sen feels and from where the use painful hand. So, with dirt, a shield is recommended.
The adapter hdmi is not recommended (see my review).
To conclude:
Look carefully before rushing. Compare with android (cheaper, better connectivity, simple system facilities and transfers output on some tv).
In terms of the question: iPad 2 or new iPad? The new definition for who is really better on the internet, applications are updated to support the retina and the new is more scalable in time, therefore it's a purchase but left to pay the price ...
My advice anyway: the new white ipad (less messy i checked and design).
For the capacity, it is best destimer get what you lutiliserez: music we know what is going to quon if lon's games or not, if it is necessary photo editing room, to store such movies, then you get the picture .
I thought to do but now with 32GB which I did not really use it 100 more wasted. Apple to thank you too restrictive system ...
However: an alternative soffre to you, since few are available wifi hard drives that connect to the iPad (16 to 64GB) DAfter reviews and tests it is not quite the point on some things (films reader type) after all why not?
A tip for buying a tablet: A 7 "seems reasonable to me, both in weight / size screen which in my opinion is enough, try before you buy, check the reviews and tests If you are the Apple universe. so please, take a look at the version 7.9 ", weight is the lightest of all the 7" tablets in a larger format, beware, this is not a Retina screen ...
I sold my iPad and I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7 ", my detailed commentary is online.
