Five Ways the iPad is Helping to Make Laptops Become Extinct

Posted by Allen on August 26th, 2019

There are many benefits with modern day technology. Modern day technology has improved so much that we can do lots of sophisticated things on small devices like the iPad or mobile devices. This is something that we couldn’t have done 10 years ago. In this article I will discuss the benefits of an iPad and how it compares with laptops. The original iPad made consumers question their bulky laptops, but as the iPad makes its entrance onto the tech scene, it's making the old school laptop look more obsolete than ever - and following are several reasons why.

The iPad is All-In-One

When you buy a laptop nowadays, you're left to buy your own software and you're pretty much limited to how much you can do with your new and expensive laptop - but the iPad can do it all. The iPad is a media player, eBook reader, web browser, gaming device, business tool, and will likely run circles around your laptop at purchase. Have you seen restaurants use iPads to place orders?

Easy Access

 The efficient design of the iPad makes it a lot more practical than the average modern laptop computer. Computer users are more active than ever and it makes a lot more sense to grab the sleek, open-faced, small-sized, and ultraportable iPad instead of the standard 15.6 inch clamshell laptop while having to lug around the laptop's battery and power adapter.

The iPad’s Hard Drive Will Rival That of a Laptop

The original iPad peaked at 1TB of internal storage space - which is a lot of storage for such as small device but the iPad has been rumored to reach a maximum capacity twice the size of the original iPad (2TB) - making the iPad a more suitable rival for standard laptop computers and other tablets alike. No longer do you need laptops with multiple hard drives for lots of storage space; now you can get a lot of storage space on small devices like the iPad.

Major Upgrades

In addition to the iPad's upgraded capacity, the iPad will better spar against laptops due to major upgrades made to the iPad that weren't on the original iPad - including an more processing power, a better screen resolution, a slimmer design and more. The original iPad pointed out many flaws in current laptops, but the iPad will become even more competitive in the battle with laptops with its upgraded and more efficient design and features.

There's an App for Everything

When the original iPad hit the scene in 2010, the iPad section of the iTunes App Store only featured a handful of apps, but nowadays the iTunes App Store is booming and there's so many apps in the iPad's App Store that one could find a free iPad App to replace most things done on a laptop computer. Writing papers, scheduling business events, sending email, keeping track of appointments, taking school notes, and more can be done with a breeze on the iPad - costing less and doing more than standard laptops.
