Oh lordy – this really is frequently another apple Versus home home home windows debate.

We have to obtain a second computer in your house as both kids will quickly have an overabundance of homework than I ever imagined they’d have and i’m not going the arguments that will inevitably occur once they both wish to use the main one computer concurrently (it’s grew to become of – I am in awe of the amount remains dished out!)

My son’s birthday acquired proper care of anf the husband has pointed out he wants an iPad (my immediate reaction: ‘Ha! No chance jose!’) but on reflection (and evaluating prices of laptops with home home home windows home along with a base iPad) would this solve the issue of dual homework pile-up? Can you really reliably construct word-, stand out- and powerpoint- type documents by getting an ipad?

Any tips about this can be greatfully received – try not to descend in a slanging match between OS types!

I do not think you can edit word doc’s by getting an ipad. Might be a deal with yet it is among the a number of things that put me off them.

I like some Apple stuff but am no fan boy. the only real factor I’ve is unquestionably an imac desktop desktop desktop but it is four years old and could creating a PC the next time round.

If you’d like pure functionality for almost any decent cost get him the very best laptop you’ll find for 400. (cost of fundamental ipad)

ipads are awesome certainly but be savvy and get what meets your requirements.

apologies for spelling, I am not normally such as this but for reasons unknown i’m not able to create or type ATM.

Its definetly easy to read the iPad, office suites are appropriate for sale to ithingys.

Whether it is more/as practical as being a laptop could be a different prospect,I’d imagine having a seperate keyboard(Bluetooth) could make matters simpler because the onscreen keyboard would occupy valuable property specifically when attempting edit documents/spreadsheets.

However would definetly have a very iPad round the network for transporting out concentrate on.

This season however ‘they’ the college was adament round the proper PC laptop for GCSE year (she’s approaching 16 soon) you will find local network based programmes she’s designed to integrate with don’t ask me what or why they are somewhat behind the occasions and haven’t spotted the cloud right now.

So, the treatment depends I suppose about how precisely old he’s, you will find ‘office’ style apps, which can be swapped obtaining a desktop and there’s google drive, and iCloud, nonetheless the distraction factor from this a gaming device can’t be overlooked, nor the recording downloads, I bet she’s upstairs about this right now doing something she should not be.
