Notes

  • It depends on your needs and wants.
  • Thank again, how might you want to use your computer.
    • You might find that a tablet might meet your needs now.
  • Many folks say these days that they really just do email and internet. If this is the case, any tablet or smart phone can easily meet these needs and a computer is no longer the only device for you.
    • Portability is no longer the only reason to consider a different or a smaller device.
  • Maybe we desire something less complicated.
  • Ponder the list of things you might well want from a computer to help you decide. (see slide).
  • It is likely that any single device won’t meet all of your needs.
  • See the Pros and Cons Ron has laid out for each type of device.

Open Questions:

Is Open Office available for the iPad. No, but there are other “office” replacement apps for the iPad.
