There are cases out there which let you put an iPad in a holder on the top. It then looks like a laptop with the iPad laying sideways. Mine has the home button to the right. Then there is a QWERTY style keyboard on the lower half and the two halves close like a laptop. The connection of the keyboard to the iPad is made through Bluetooth paring. Mine connects and disconnects so that the rechargeable keyboard lasts about 2 weeks worth of typing but I get a lot of email. It only takes 3 hours to recharge from a totally dead battery to a fully charged one. The charging cable comes with the keyboard case. There are cases for all iPads being sold today. I like the iPad Air with WI-FI and cellular and my Air has 128 GGB of storage.

If you rarely travel then you can just get the WI-FI only model assuming of course you own a wireless router at home. It isn't to hard to find free WI-FI and it's as close as that mall we've talked about. I keep my music collection on my iPad and the Bard reading app. NLS Talking Books sound much better when heard on an iPad Air then on an iPhone 5s. Sorry this is probably longer then you would of liked it! On the other hand, you already I can be talkative! LOL! HTH

Subject: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?


Hi, all,

I have a computer that needs a hard-drive replacement, at the very least, and possibly has a failed logic board. I'm seriously considering replacing it with an iPad. Price is only somewhat an issue, since there seems to be only about $100 US difference between a new model I would want and the iPad. Mainly, I don't want the hassle of replacing moving parts and getting dust and cat-hair and such snarled up in it. I'm also extremely comfortable with iOS and use my iPod 5th gen constantly. I intend to use the iPad with a keyboard.

So has anyone else taken this sort of step? Am I out of my mind, or do you think this is doable?

I am a casual user. I read books, browse the web, play videos and music and games, and occasionally write for informal publications.

What do you guys think?

Teresa
