Laptops vs. Ipads

    While iPads have many uses, laptops are victorious when it comes to efficiency. For example, have you ever noticed how hard it is to type on an iPad? The keyboard is smaller than the average laptop. The keys have no bumps to indicate the placement of your hands therefore making it harder to tell if you are typing and have correct hand position.
    Laptops are very sturdy and durable, whereas the iPad is easier to crack, chip, or break. In almost every case, the laptops can do anything the iPad can. iPads are just seen as “new technology” and a “must have.” Depending on the model, laptops are generally cheaper than your “state-of-the-art” iPad. Furthermore, laptops have a longer battery life, especially in the long run. 
    In my own experience, my iPod isn’t that old. It’s in perfect working condition except the battery life is quite short. iPads have excellent battery life at first, but as time goes on, battery life reduces drastically. Yes, iPads may be the newest model and the new “thing.” (I mean who wouldn’t want a free iPad?) But overall, buying an iPad over a laptop just isn’t a smart choice. You name it: music, pictures, skype, games, internet, etc..., all can be done with a laptop. When you carry around an iPad, you have to buy a  thick, heavy case in order to cover the delicate screen. If you accidentally drop it, it’s more likely to have a crack across the screen. With laptops, the ingenious idea of covering the screen inside the fold is effective. You drop a closed laptop, one of the last things you worry about is the screen. You’ll probably first look for damage on the outside.
    Your average iPad can cost anywhere from $500-$830. Laptops usually range between $450-$900. This means that your average laptop can cost way less than an iPad unless you get a fancier model. Think about it. Your average laptop cheaper (depending on the model) than an iPad. Don’t forget that laptops consist of a longer battery life, easier for typing, and contain much more memory than iPads. They generally run the same size, whether width or length, and are just as lightweight as any iPad! So I ask again, why would anyone buy an iPad over a laptop? Laptops are just as accessible and efficient as any iPad could ever be. 
    Overall, I believe you’ll agree with me that laptops are the ultimate tool in modern society. In the coming years, days, or hours, I challenge you to use both a laptop and an iPad and monitor the benefits of both. In the end, laptops will always have a longer list of benefits. I encourage all iPad users to buy a laptop. I believe laptops are the key to future school notes and tests. Imagine how much easier it would be to turn on your laptop and type your notes and answers to a quiz than to open a notebook and hand write them? Laptops would save so much time and make the school experience more enjoyable. No more cramps, no more hand stretches, no more sore arms, Laptops are the answer.
