As in my previous post, I am inclined to getting an iPad for note taking and making it part of myself [i.e. music, sports, etc]
I've watched the Strength add from Apple and found it inspiring. However, knowing it to be an advertisement, I am cautious.
I would like input from you guys, to see what uses can the iPad do well and reliably. So as to add to my decision on buying an iPad air/mini [i've gotten a note10.1 before but it has failed me miserably as the note taking function was not up to scratch and it ended up being a good toy, but nothing more]

What's udang? Yeah I most probably will get a sleek keyboard if i get the ipad air, but the ipad mini seems able to take notes whilst moving around. Difficult decisions

Have u tested both air n mini? I dont think the size difference is dat much..go to any apple shop n give it a try..personally, i prefer ipad air..coz its smaller than my current ipad 4..n the physical keyboard, the thickness is like u r carrying 2 identical ipad. So wont be dat hard la..i've seen a lot of my mat saleh's friend been using it.

i use it as a mini TV ... really!

you can stream or download many series, movies, shows and bring it with you where you go. (I use VLC to stored videos)

other than that I use it as a large GPS (google map or waze).

use it to open facebook, 9gag, check email, or check movie ticket, or google search something in instant.

but all these required internet.

I'm interested in how you use it for MS office stuff. Is it ok for typing and etc or do you find it troubesome?
Is it good in replacing your laptop when you go out to a cafe or something?

It is good for simple editing but for a Full presentation from scratch still I use my Macbook Pro... but when I go out for presentation I will carry my Iphone 5 or ipad mini and during presentation when need to do a little changes or simple editing no problem... I dont want to carry such a big laptop very heavy and leaving it in car is NO!!!

so ipad with 20hrs ++ Battery life is good smile.gif
