Hello, I found this site, and it will probably be a blessing. I have had the ipad for several months now. Apparently, I do not know all the benefits of the ipad because I bought a laptop with windows to make up what I couldn't view on the ipad. I have a friend who continuously pushes apple products, and she has chastised me for buying the laptop when I can just use the ipad. I don't know what questions to ask if I don't know the capabilities of the ipad. I will be reading and learning for now. I live in Florida, in Mickey Mouse's backyard; although, i have my doubts about if I am really in Florida these days considering the temperatures we have been experiencing. I keep humming "New York, New York". I look forward to learning, and hope you all have patience with a computer illiterate.

Buying a laptop was NOT a bad idea, don't let your friend's opinion dictate how you feel about your purchases.
The truth is, there are quite a few tasks that the iPad simply cannot do, or at a minimum is much more cumbersome and difficult to perform than it would be on a laptop.
Use your iPad as much as you can, but don't feel guilty when you want to use the laptop instead of the iPad to complete a task.

To new user
I am also new to the iPad. Don't feel bad about also having a computer. To get the most out of the iPad, you have to sinc it with iTunes now and then. You do need a computer for that.
The iPad does not replace the computer, it just gives you mor options.

think of the iPad as a tool to make life easier. You can do basic needed to do things and not lug around a laptop anymore.
I'm currently setting up my iPad for in the field data use.. the iPad 2 I'll buy as my personal toy at home. But my current iPad I'll use for work while in the field and at the office, backed by my work computer.
It's a learning process. So think of it like a cellphone. Cellphones now make it possible to surf the web and look up information on the go, rather than a couple years ago when phone/text/email was the only functional, and you had to call someone to look up something sittiing infront of a computer.
