hi guys....at first sorry i had a bad english hope you all can understand

well im a college student now and i need a tablet PC to act as a lecture notes and be able to open microsoft office to enable me to do my work.

i wonder ipad2 got such apps to do this thing?

your help its really important

It's possible, iPad has apps that allows you to read those documents....

But, I think you should considering buying Asus Eeepad Transfomer instead...
It'll suit you better with the build in documents reader and keyboard docking station....

look at the time it went retails....i will faint in the class

do you know the apps name? i nid to find it and it really can be use i only can buy the ipad2

QuickOffice, Documents to Go, Pages etc. etc. .... There are many apps out there that enables you to read and edit documents....

owh bro..i got 1 more question....after i done all my thing at ipad...can i transfer to my comp and print it out?

as i know it depend on the app that u use, example like goodreader, it has wifi-transfer that enable u to transfer file to and from computer and also support most doc that student use like word, excel, presentation and allow u to edit.

well u can use google doc on safari to view, edit, and download from computer since it on the web.

btw, for me ipad good for college student so no need to worry forget print what note and print note

correct me if i wrong

i never use apple product before...i scare after buy...then cannot use then i will be in big problem

owh 1 more problem...how to purchase apps for itunes?

well no need scare, i believe buy ipad can help u as a student is some way, but it depend on what u really want. like me, i want to view note only so it save me from printing note and enable me to bring all note to school and also use app like things to remind me what task i ned to do & bring book to read. of cos i also use to play game/surt net at uni

well, if u rich and has credit card then use credit card else use debit card,i use public bank day2day debit card.

USB disk, support PDF, every microsoft docs.

Im using to read my research paper, and for some leisure time. Fruit ninja hd epic

use dad CC

the apps called USB disk?

If you find the virtual keyboard hard to manage, buy the keyboard.

Yes. It can be done.
I use it for leisure and uni life. Not bad since on some days I could just use the tablet. Save weight & hassle.

imagine the campus are big like and my class schedule are ghey!.....sometimes 1 north and 1 south

ipad is very very good for like reading pdf, do some minor editing on excel or word or even power point files

but if want to use ipad for typing an whole assignment, it's a BIG NONO!!!

for apps to let u read pdf, ibook (free) will do

for apps like for u to edit excel,word and pdf , you can choose numbers (excel),pages (word), keynote (powerpoint), documents to go (all excel,word and pp), quickoffice ((all excel,word and pp)

those app cost the range of USD10 to USD 20

after you finish some minor editing on excel,word files, you can just sync it with some online storage app , like dropbox, googledocs and such, then just use the school PC to download it, then print it out

well.....those big assignment you reffering too is it those got perhargaan inside blahblahblah alot rite?

im going use it as lecture notes ....and finish my lecture giv me the homework i think thats okay

added: also wad do you mean edit? it only can edit existing those excel file or word file only?

i nid a whole empty workspace to let me type woh

College student should stick to laptops, not tablets. You have more flexibility with laptops due to tons of program available that you might need to do your assignments.

i did consider laptop but....the asus eee pad transformer pricing are same with ipad2 plus...i not so familiar with android apps.

laptop have more maintaince parts then ipad rite? i dun think the battery gonna last me whole day...

You have to look at the software that you need to do your assignments/projects.

Can you imagine the pain of sharing data between your other friends when you end up cannot run some of their files because your own tablet lacked the proper software?

Maintenance should not be an issue, its a laptop, not a desktop, and as long as you have warranty you're good to go.

Battery life? Find a power socket, or get one of those low powered laptop like the Acer Timeline which I read can last up to 8 hours.

alot of thing had to take care of...if buying sub 2k laptop...just like my dad 1 battery max 2hour with wifi.

it must be 99% no downtime.

well...i going use this ipad2 to do my homework and not assignment

I think you havent buy one with ULV processor. It used to cost hand and leg for one but recently, it has gone down cheap.

I have an Acer tablet which runs on SU4100 (dual core 1.3GHz ULV) and it last at least 6hrs. IBM has one too on Core i3-xxxUM and it also run 6-8hours easily if I remembered correctly. Now, even AMD has ULV part. Look for the E350.

iPad wont do you any good. Good for web surfing, gaming, replying emails, socials and thats it. I dont really know why people bought an iPad and a bag full of keyboard etc just to have the so called mobile office when all they need is just a tablet and a 10-11.6" ULV powered laptop.

get asus eepad transformer.

even if you are not familiar with the OS and apps. i believe you will manage.

ipad2 for assignment etc. you will find it difficult in doing your assignment after some quite time.

if you really into assignment then get laptop( provided if you dont have laptop ).....if you have laptop. then asus eepad transformer ans it have usb etc. doing assignment required you to use USB stick always(in my case yes) and of you using ipad, then usb stick will have problems with you.

p/s: last time i use ipad for my assignment but in lack of usb making me hard to use ipad as University/collage assignment. need to sync with pc etc etc to transfer the file. and lastly. my ipad just llke a device to use before sleep and when i go out. not doing an assignment on that =.=".
