First time it turns on you go “wow” - Sycing with iTunes through a cable feels ancient - It is heavier than it looks, you need to find a comfortable position to hold it for a long time - You need to get used to typing on it. ~ You definitely need a case. My recommendation is the apple case. It doubles up as a stand and helps typing as well + The apps make all the difference, some of them are truly amazing. + It has the best browsing experience of any device + You never have to worry about battery life. + Best platform to watch videos
I’ve been using the iPad for 3 weeks now, never had to turn on my laptop for anything, I guess that sums it up.
