When I turned in my work laptop, I dusted off my 5 year old Dell laptop and used it for the last couple of months, but I became quite frustrated by how slow and laggy it was. I had considered buying a new laptop or a new memory card for the Dell, but decided to try something else instead.
Having a Bluetooth keyboard lying around that I bought a while back, I paired it up with my iPad mini. I’ve been using this combination for the last week and while the screen size is a bit small for my liking (I bought the mini because I use the Kindle app for reading books quite a bit), it was workable, but I found myself not liking having to touch the screen to select text and scroll.
So I bought a Bluetooth mouse on Amazon for $10 and it works quite well, though the scroll wheel is backward from what I’m used to.
So I think I’ve found a alternate solution to buying a new PC. It’s every bit as fast, if not faster than my work laptop is, and if the size becomes an issue, I can just buy a standard size iPad and still spend significantly less than I would on a new laptop.
So I’m exclusively iOS, at least for now.
