Would you buy it again?
- zephjc 16y agoI know I would. We (my gf and I) use it for ebooks, browsing, and playing games (Yatzee, Scrabble, etc), amongst other things. The only thing I dislike is the battery life - typical tasks (browsing, ebook reading etc) tend to draw power faster than the charger can fill the battery.
- JarekS 16y agoInteresting - so what's with 10 hours usage without charging? Do you find it true statement after weeks of using the device?
- zephjc 16y agoIt probably works out to that but because of typically sporadic use it adds up. Games (any, not just graphics-intesive ones) seem use battery life faster though. It does have great "stand-by" battery life though.
- tpz 16y agoI use mine every day and it gets the full 10-11 hours most people are getting for non-gaming activities, somewhat less for gaming activities, and charges way faster than I can drain it (though I haven't tried this while gaming I suspect it'll still be true.) Something is definitely wrong with your iPad, and you should take it into an Apple Store to have it checked out.
- izak30 16y agoI probably charge mine once/week with I'd say moderate use.
- watmough 16y ago"Would you buy it again?" Yes, absolutely. And I think I'd buy the same model of 16 Gig Wifi/3G that I bought this time. Thus far, with some music and a good selection of HD WWDC 2010 videos, I'm still only at 8 Gigs used. Watching these videos (I8n, UIScrollViews, CoreText so far) in a comfortable setting whilst feeding the baby have been the killer app so far. The iPad is not a laptop, it takes up much less space, much easier to handle, doesn't get hot, doesn't have a fan. Though more limited, its relationship to laptops is similar to how much of a jump my 20" iMac was over a regular PC desktop. Less space, less noise, less heat.
