All,
Work have given me a woeful windows laptop that is hopeless. Won't pick up my profile (so can't install Chrome or Skype), battery life is 2 hours (!) and the fan makes a loud buzz. It's so flimsy that it looks like something my 3-year old would play with. Just horrible.
Anyway, I have some project funds to buy something decent. I am keen on a Macbook Air (Apple fan, so no Windows suggestions please), but also wondered if an iPad with a bluetooth keyboard would do all I need for less cash and weight? I'm an academic, so would mainly be email, web surfing, some writing and spreadsheets. Occasional stats would probably wait until I was at my desktop. I was wary of the iPad route as not keen on doing loads of typing, but have recently seen these cases that have the keyboard built in.
Anyone done it? Thoughts appreciated!
TIA,
Alex.
