To Buy or Not To Buy?
Recently Apple has released its next market changing product the IPAD. A large sized version of its recent recreation the iTouch.
With a full screen size of slightly smaller than a sheet of paper (roughly 7.5 x 9.5 inches) it is the newest tough computing addition to hit the market since the tablet pc.
I have reviewed it and looked it over in the apple stores, and I have to admin it looks sleek, is a lot lighter than a laptop, and can be very handy for mobile computing in office and data entry environments.
Is it really worth it?
After the wow factor wore off, I had to really ask myself – is this really worth it to spend another $500 for a touch tablet that can’t run most of my existing software.
Can I really justify using in a regular office environment any more than my trusty laptop has already done for me. And at a lower cost to maintain!
Think real hard and consider what you are paying for. Don’t get me wrong, if I had the money to blow on a new computing device, all shiny with the fresh out of the box smell, then yeah.
Otherwise why did I buy its older yet small cousin the iTouch for…?
It all comes down to how you use it.
I’d make a joke about how size doesn’t matter, being a guy and all, but when it comes to getting a job done (for a computer) size DOES matter.
More power, more MIPS (that’s a measurement of computing power, look it up) and storage space all add up to a well though out machine.
But the one thing that puts my wallet back in my pocket is the $500 price tag for the base model. I can buy a fully loaded laptop for that price, and I don’t have to worry about scratching the glass screen while I work on it.
So you have a choice…
You can stick with a time tested computing platform that has all the bells and whistles you can shake your wallet at.
Or you can be the first to own an untested, undetermined computer that who knows how long it will take you to see that shiny glass break and make it all come to a screeching halt.
If you have one, or would like to share your experiences with the IPAD or iTouch leave your comments. I want to hear from you.
