Can iPad replace my laptop?
One of the most common questions for iPad buyers- can it replace my laptop or computer outright. We cannot paint everyone with a broad brush, however the majority of casual users- especially with the launch of iPadOS- will find iPad a welcome replacement. The biggest advice we can give is to familiarize yourself with the iPad’s abilities and shortcomings, and see how that will fit into your workflow. The iPad cannot do as much as a classic computer, but the iPad does its shorter selection of tasks very well.
Which iPad Should I Get?
When purchasing an iPad, there are two main questions to ask. What’s my budget? What will I do with it?
For those who are buying in bulk or on a limited budget, we suggest the iPad 7th Generation. It’s a well rounded device at a reasonable price, but lacks the features of its more premium alternatives such as a laminated display. The storage options are also caped at 128GB.
For those the majority of iPad customers, we’d suggest either the iPad Mini 5 or iPad Air 3. Both devices have laminated displays, more storage, and a fast processor. The iPad Mini 5 has a 7.9-inch Retina Display, but no Smart Keyboard Support. The iPad Air 3 has a 10.5-inch Retina Display and Smart Keyboard Support.
For those who are trying to replace their laptop or want the best iPad, we suggest the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro packs premium features making it the best iPad available including ProMotion, Apple Pencil 2, Smart Keyboard Folio, Face ID, Modern Design, A12X, and more.
