Totally agree. The iPad is my "couch-surfing" computer of choice these days. You really can curl up with this sucker or lie on your back comfortably while reading.
I've been using it for most of my reading (newspapers, books, magazines). A lot of my surfing and a lot more video consumption than I had expected.
The sketching apps are great. I bought a little stylus to help out where fingers fall short. I'm doing a lot more drawing than ever b/c of the facility and convenience of drawing on the pad.
The comic book readers are great (I use comic reader mobi). I hadn't read a comic or graphic novel in years, but they just looks so gorgeous on the ipad that I've been voraciously catching up on various comics that I would have otherwise ignored.
I find myself using the iphone much less when at home and the laptop has been relegated to "work"/upright/serious stuff.
iPad, for me, is something of a leisure computer. If that makes any sense...
- swernli 16y agoMakes perfect sense to me, as that is my use as well. I find myself very rarely turning to my laptop at home. iPad for web browsing, video watching when I'm not in front of the netflix enabled xbox 360, and pretty much all communication, with my iPhone picking up the slack in the text messaging department. For me, it's definitely not a complete laptop replacement, but at home I wasn't really fully utilizing my laptop anyway, so this ends up being more than perfect.
