I have an iPad mini and love it. I load textbooks and stuff on it and it can easily go anywhere. Got my wife the full size and she loves it for her movies and crap like that.
She only has an old ass apple MacBook and the thing is worked. Keys are brown, it runs hot and it takes a lot of doing to get the stupid magnetic charging cord to actually charge.
She writing a book and I hope this is a cooler option (literally). I'm going to let her pick out a full sized keyboard so she can use it as a laptop.
