Top 5 Reasons to buy an iPad

I think these are the 5 best features that I can find on the new iPad. I had questions that needed to be answered like portability, battery life, bluetooth, connections and the display. I was very impressed with the results.

The iPad is compact and trim:

A big key for me was the size and weight. I hate lugging around my laptop when I want to just sit on the couch and surf the net while I’m watching TV or just lounging around. With a screen size just under 10 inches it’s just a bit smaller than a netbook. Weighing in at just 1.5 pounds and a minuscule 0.5 inches thick it’s no problem taking it anywhere. I must say I’m really blown away by the overall design. It’s a very slick device and ergonomically sound.

The iPad is fast:

Powered by an Apple A4 processor, it has the best performance versus all the other touch-based gadgets. I must say it’s a breeze running videos, text apps or surfing the web.

How long does the iPad battery last and what about the hard drive?

They claim the iPad will get you 10 hours of battery life. Yes and no. With regular use, like surfing the web here and there and a bit of video now and then you can definitely get 10 hours, sometimes more. But if you run it hard every time you use it then you can expect to get a little less.

Hook the iPad up to your stuff:

The iPad is flawless at transmitting data. No lag time on a fast wifi connection. Even when I’ve traveled a couple of times with it I’ve never had a bad connection no matter where I was at. It features Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, which I found out to be Extended Data Rate, has a great transfer speed. From headphones, mobile phones even an Apple wireless keyboard for those of you who like to write, like me.

The iPad likes to be touched!

The Multi-Touch screen on the iPad is a new feature based on the old iPhone but this completely new with obviously a bigger screen that displays images, videos and web content with very good resolution.

So there are 5 good reasons to finally take the plunge and go out and get yourself an Apple iPad. It’s compact and light, fast, the battery last’s long, great reception and you can hook up all your stuff up to it.
