kogwanted Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 ok so im thinking about buying myself an ipad2 for my bday. I have been wanting one for a while and my school is all laptops pretty much no books. If you break a laptop u have to pay 600 for a new one and they are horribly slow anyway. I dont like them. I want a Ipad2 which ill use next year and for college.I also want one for myself at home cuz i need a new laptop cuz mine is a little older which im selling for 250. Just wondering what you guys think about them the goods the bads just your expierences with them. Im planning on buying the whtite 32gb wifi one.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

__d_a_v_i_d__ Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I mean, specifically for school. I would just get a regular laptop, if u got the funds than Mac laptop. It'll just be overall better IMO. My iPhone has helped me alot with school work, research/hw/essays/etc so an iPad will help aswell .

hdorre Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) I HATE how restricted Apple is, with a burning passion. I would only consider it if you could jailbreak. I would just get a Motorola XOOM. I'm more advanced and want more from my devices though...so an iPad may be perfect for you (if you just have basic needs). Edit: as said above, tablets simply can't replace a good laptop. Mac ftw?

Your ipad2 will still be slower than a new laptop but you don\'t have to carry a 5-7 pound brick with you. I went and got an Alienware 11x notebook instead of the ipad2 since I play video games and like some power in my tech, but based on what you are using it for I would get one. BTW my cell phone is has more power then the ipad2 just a smaller screen. Don\'t get white, it doesn\'t wear good. Black is better, and the ipad version 3 or 4 will be the one to get. I spent $1,100 on my Alienware 11x but you can get a base model for $700. Edited April 20, 2011 by xStatezOfMindZx Quote 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch P3 P3D412 in a 4.75 cu. ft sealed box.
