I would say that if you only did email and web browsing with a document here or
there, you could easily make the change. I know for traveling the iPad Air
with both WI-FI and Cellular lets you access the web and email in more places
then just WI-FI alone. If you insist on your music collection, then you may
decide to limit it to 40 or 50 GB of your favorite tunes and on an 128 GB iPad
Air you should have plenty of room left for documents and maybe even a picture
or two.

Actually, the only thing that really holds me back from going completely to
iOS, other than the fact that I do enjoy playing with my technology, is that I
don't yet have a way to use the braille embosser and do braille translation
without my Mac and/or linux; actually even with linux I can't at this point
emboss. But for about a year now I've been thinking eventually this might
happen and so I am deliberately doing more and more tasks on my i-devices. If
you don't have a reason to have to specifically use MS Word, I think it might
be doable. I have a sighted friend who is doing more and more with his iPad and
mainly uses Windows now only for some online courses he is taking that require
very strict MS WORD formatting; I don't remember if he is also using the
MICROSOFT apps on the iPad; I think perhaps he is. But I think the day will
come when using i-devices only is a viable option even in this area and for
blind as well as sighted users. While I have to read some Word files I don't
need to write in it so this isn't an issue for me. So I'm using my iPad
especially, but also my iPhones, more and more and eventually hope to do what
you are thinking of doing. I think the only way to know for sure would be to
get an iPad or borrow one and use it for a few weeks exclusively to see if
there are unworkable situations that come up. I also think that as the Mac and
i-devices become more popular MS Word may someday not be demanded in some
places as emphatically as now, but only time will tell about this. You know,
there was a time, in my lifetime, when MS Word didn't exist and nothing lasts
forever, not MS Word, not any OS or iOS or android or whatever. So who knows
what may devellop just around the corner!

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)

Hi
I will completely agree 100% here.
I use a mac exclusively for personal stuff, but for any kind of productive
stuff I use windows. E.G. Embossing, word processing, work related email and
excel etc.
Otherwise I use the mac for itunes, mail, browsing etc.
I also have a few notetakers that I use as well.

Teresa,
The one thing I would add to what others have said is that, in my
experience, there doesn't seem to be a word processor available for
the iPad that can match the muscle of MS Word. Even my friends who are
devoted Mac users still return to Word for heavy-duty word processing.
I love my iPhone/iPad, but I will keep my laptop for the foreseeable future.

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?
