No issue how I cut this,
Office Home And Student 2010 Key, I am heading to get grief. So allow me to say the adhering to. Despite becoming a total time Linux user, we personal two Macs, two iPhones. Nobody is this residence has eliminated Apple items from our property. Okay,
Microsoft Office Pro Plus, shifting on.
The issue with comparing the iPad to a netbook, is always that it’s more about the form-factor at work and less about the alleged ease of use. I mean, in theory you can use an iPad like a netbook with a keyboard should you wish to. I might even go so far as to say that an iPad might be more versatile and a better comparison will be the iPad against the Android powered tablets, as they share more in common. Unfortunately though, most people are more likely to personal a notebook or in this case, a netbook,
Office 2007 Enterprise, than an Android tablet.
The iPad advantage
The iPad offers three strong items worth mentioning. First, it’s going to provide you with an insane battery life. So good in fact, that it’s a little better than even the best battery using netbooks. Perhaps only by a couple of hours, but that is a couple of hours for reading or watching videos. Second,
Office 2010, the apps. If the app you want doesn’t exist yet, blog about it and check back in a couple of weeks. There really isn’t anything missing from the app store that you need. Third,
Office 2007 Standard Key, it takes portable to a whole new level. Three years ago when my wife and I were using Microsoft powered Tablet PCs to check down the list at the showroom for what was to be included in our house, we had to use a stylus. Worse, the entire feel of the Tablet PC was heavy and awkward. The iPad is light, there is no need for the stylus and it’s keyboard is surprising useful.

Using an iPad is awesome, until you are done watching video, blogging or skimming the news. Yes, it’s also pretty good for taking notes, but managing a website from this platform is heading to be interesting. There are simply somethings where not having a mouse or at the very least, a touchpad, feels wrong. This is also the case if you’re working a lot with images or happen to be needing software that just isn’t available for the iPad yet. Yes, it does exist.
Which is best
For my money, I'm a netbook person because I want that tactile feel of a real keyboard, without being left out to buy one just to use the device in this manner. Same applies for my ability to slip in a USB mouse and utilize software like “Filezilla” to manage different websites. For my needs, the netbook does it. But for others in different situations, I am sure that the iPad may very well be a better fit. It’s slimmer and can be held closely while currently being used by the other hand. Something you don’t see with the netbook.
