Apple iPad – Alternative to Laptop for My Travels

Apple iPad 2
Apple iPad tablet is an amazing slick gadget by now everybody in the world knows about! Fascinating little device that works just fine for all my needs during travels. Before I purchased Apple iPad 2 16 GB, WiFi version, I used to carry my laptop everywhere I go. I wouldn’t lie, it was not too much hassle to carry laptop with me but since I got iPad 2 wi-fi, life has become little easier.

Why iPad for Travel over laptop…..

  • Lightweight and easy to carry compared to laptop
  • Requires less space compared to laptop.
  • Fulfill my all needs – emails, writing a blog post, accessing drop-box for my blog posts and more… list goes on. I use iPad Bluetooth enabled keyboard for my writing purpose. It serves dual purpose: 1) work as keyboard and 2), turns into iPad case.
  • Replaced my paper books – I am perfectly fine reading my books on iPad using Kindle app. That helps me reduce the weight of carry on bag.
  • Every year, Apple comes up with newer version of iPad tablet. I am still using Apple iPad 2 16GB, WiFi version and pick up free wi-fi at hot-spots to get my work done. At the time of writing this post, there are following models available in the market. I believe this list will get larger over years with iPad tablet’s new models featuring new technology tweaks and functions.

I don’t see any drawbacks owning an iPad tablet. I agree that iPad is not laptop machine to produce something, for example: images. You cannot use software such as Adobe Photoshop or CorelDraw to produce your images. But, using iPad you can easily check e-mails, do photo editing, write a book or write and maintain your blog post.
