We all seen the pix it's okay to admit u shacked up now lol As for the original question the iPad can definitely be transitioned into a on campus computer for most needs it will def work in the classroom. I personally prefer my MBP because it's much easier to accomplish things and although the iPad is cool its still limited at times... For school work n most sites like blackboard and other .edu sites she should be fine. The keyboard is a good investment although I never bought one I wouldn't wanna have to lug it around. I know they make cases with them now but I have never been motivated to buy one S.n. Im going to Nigeria for a month tomorrow n leaving my MBP behind so I will literally use y iPad for everything over there..... This will be one hell of a test for me.

It is cheaper to buy a physical copy and resell it. I love that I can just throw my ipad in my backpack. Does everything I need throughout the day. I would pick up the bluetooth keyboard. Just recently saw the new smaller macbook air and that is nice. That seems to be a way better value. LOS ANGELES LAKERS 1949 1950 1952 1953 1954 1972 1980 1982 1985 1987 1988 2000 2001 2002 2009 2010

Registered Member Posts: 4378 12/20/11 3:40 PM	Not to thread jack but what about an iPad for general work? I bought my girl a Macbook pro last year and she already has an iPhone. Ipad is pretty much worthless right? - Fong$tarr Member since: January 26, 2003 FONGSTARR.COM \| FATLACE BLOG \| INSTAGRAM:@FONGSTARR

As in, there's no real program for importing/editing/exporting Microsoft Office (ie. Word) related items, unless you pay for a $10 app which just provides very basic, lackluster stuff... I could be wrong, can anyone else chime in here? I would assume that would be a big drawback for someone looking to use an iPad for school use (again, I could be wrong).. *TEAMAMFAM FLICK*R

Someone please elaborate on this, I don't mind the extra 10$ but I'd want for it to be compatible with PowerPoint presentations, exporting and importing word docs and such... *It's Jcrew, Bro.* *Im busy getting rich I don't want trouble* *You Live + You Dress Style Blog* *Its Jcrew, bro.*
