For most people, the MacBook Air is the best laptop on the market. We think a lot of college students can get by and just buy an iPad instead of a MacBook Air. Most college homework assignments can be done on an iPad. Make videos? Listen to copious amounts of music? Try Rdio or Spotify. Video games? Upload your pictures with the camera connection kit, edit them in Snapseed and upload them to Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, or wherever you want.
You can check your email, write essays in Pages, create PowerPoints, record videos, print documents, make music, procrastinate by playing Kingdom Rush for hours, listen to new music, and watch movies, and Skype with your mommy all on your iPad.

For instance, the app dock has space for plenty of apps - and you can open them by pulling them up from the dock. Google docs will allow you to create word, excel and powerpoint style documents. CaptainFlashheart Free Member.

Pages and numbers seem fairly limited in their capibilities compared to word and excel. Seaver pages will do it Posted 9 years ago.
Thanks for the info trail rat. That seems to be fairly conclusive. Laptop it is then. Thanks all! Its definetly possible to do homework on a iPad, office suites are available for ithingys. However I would definetly take a iPad over a network for doing work on.
Northwind Full Member. What do families with no computers do, out of curiosity? Buy one Posted 9 years ago. Not compatible with anything and the class has frequnt problems with theacher sanding word docs to the VLE to be completed and not a single child being able to open it Umm pages opens word documents without any issues Posted 9 years ago. Its mostly just a gimmick and a toy unless you really need it for work, a school kid does not! SO NO! If he gets the ipad it will be so easy to sneak into his school and then if he shows it off which is inevitable, it will get nicked or broken Posted 9 years ago.
