Thank you. Aside from portability for archaeological field research, I haven’t yet seen justification to supplant my 17” MacBook Pro with an iPad. If I were younger, and more “portable”, ‘-) myself, I might think otherwise... And, if they ever come up with a 17” Retina Display for the MBP, I might be even less tempted... ;-}
Well, I’m older, and set in my ways, but I wouldn’t only use the IPad (here I am back on my Macbook again for the afternoon) altho I’m finding that I tend to spend the mornings with the IPad and settle in later with the Mac to do more serious stuff. For one thing, I do a lot of photoshop. The little IPad photo stuff is fun to play with, but... :)
However, I think the camera on the newer IPad like my husband just got is worlds better than the one on mine and so we’ll see what it can do. I just downloaded something called, I think, Fast Cam and it takes a gazillion shots a second. That was fun to play with. There are a few apps that I can see some use for already. It’s just all different. I’m glad I have both, to be honest, and I never ever thought I’d say that.
