Will someone bear with an older user's Question:do I still need a pc if I get an ipad?

It depends on what you do? If only as personal use for email, browse Internet sure, if you do photography or other business that you still need a pc.

BTW, you MUST use the genuine Apple Kit w/iPad. Or, the iRig Midi product which costs double, but has some non-essential extra perks.

You will need a computer/laptop. And perhaps a small reading light attached to the stand. I am not sure if the IPEVO will work with an iPad or tablet. I haven't tried either of those. You will also need a projector if you plan to use the IPEVO in a classroom setting.

@E - thanks. So many things coming out at once, I just wanted to be sure I would waste my time if it operated like an iPad. I love my ASUS Notebook G50VT and want to expand my options.

I'm curious to know what you chose and how you feel. I'm having this same problem right now. I bought the touchsmart, and it's on the way. But I'm thinking I should have considered imac. Every mac customer loves them, i'm told they last better, perhaps I should pay more for the less equipped machine.For us we primarily use the computer for websurfing, email, word processing, spreadsheets, and picture storage and minor editing (pics of our toddler for grandparents) We're as basic as they come. I have an ipad, she has an hp touchpad, we have an hp netbook, and we have 3 iphones in our family. So we're an eventually split apple/hp household. The question becomes what should i home base computer be? I'm curious to know what you chose and how you feel. I'm having this same problem right now. I bought the touchsmart, and it's on the way.

I own an iPad 3 as well as the Samsung monitor. The monitor is not a mobile device so it's hard to make the comparison of your question. However, I think the monitor's touch surface will be more than 'durable' enough for desktop use. It's my first large screen touch device so it's a change from the iPad, iPhone, and other smaller mobile touchscreen devices. But it eases navigation with Win 8 when compared to a touchpad or mouse and keyboard. The screen itself appears substantial enough to handle long term desktop use. Hope this provides you some direction.

I had one but returned it, I decided an iPad was better for me. I don't believe it did.

It's Apple more than likely not get a PC that's my advice. Apologize nothing against Apple they make great stuff but hardware compatibility has never been their strong suit!!

Yes, you need something connected to it that can run the software: an iPad, iPhone, or Android phone. The software is free at the relevant App Store, so you can get a sense of the features, which differ slightly between iOS/Android platforms.

ipads run on iOS operating system (like iphones). The system requirement printed on the box is Windows (XP, Vista, 7, or higher

Yes you can connect to an Ipad or pc. You must have the camera attachment to connect to an Ipad 1st generation. I am not an expert on later versions.

I had iPad, MacbookPro, iMac, Mac mini and Pro, I´m a musician and art designer, so the tools are needed and justified, but, when it comes to computer matters, you must be truthful. a PC its not ever comparable to a Tablet. a movil device is not as good as a x86 processor. ok. way to long the differences.an iPad is a Movil device, complementary to the other devices from apple. beautyful, practical, delightful, but not complete.instead this samsung is just perfect. its a PC, is a Tablet, and it could be use as a Graphic Tablet device. or even as a future wheel drive for a space car...

Thanks.Yes, like Chinedu said, this is a very portable 'desktop'. Not a tablet in the context of iPad and the like.And being able to install any Windows app is impressive, meaning you can do anything you can do on your desktop (well almost). Only problem how to install something like Office or photoshop, with no optical drive.

An iPad is a toy. COMPUTERS are for everyday computing needs. You can't even connect anything externally to an iPad. When I can connect a USB mouse, I'll buy one.

You can use your iPad with any available wi-fi source. If you don't have access to wi-fi than you would need to pay your provider extra for that service.

First off I used PC's for over 20 years so I am not biased. Apple laptops are easier to use, you have less issues with viruses and spyware, especially if you get programs from the Apple App Store. The machines themselves were designed with what the user needs in mind.
