You might think that if you already have a computer and a smartphone, an iPad is a bit redundant. However, this is not entirely true, and you can see that from the huge sales figures of tablets all over the world. Of course, you can often perform the same programs or actions on a computer, smartphone and tablet - but the user-friendliness is not the same. But why should you get an iPad? We have listed a few reasons for you here!
High image quality
In general, tablets have the positive combination of a relatively large screen and the fact that they are lightweight and easy to carry anywhere. This is combined with a high image quality in an iPad, making it perfect for viewing photos and films, or playing games. It is the device par excellence for watching Netflix or films in the highest quality.
And if, for example, you are having dinner with your parents on Sunday and want to show your holiday photos to your family, an iPad can come in handy - a smartphone is too small for this, and a computer may be less convenient to take with you.
Stay connected wherever you are
A tablet is perfect for keeping up to date with the latest news, but also for staying in touch with your family and friends. For example, it is the perfect tool to play games with your friends or family - like Monopoly, a masterpiece for every generation. Nowadays, you can participate in many other great classics online in groups via your tablet, even in the virtual version such as online bingo. Whether you are in the same physical space or not, everyone can connect from home via the internet, and you can play together with your friends and family from all over the world. Far away, but still close!
An iPad can also work with a SIM card, depending on the chosen model, and not just with wifi. This can come in handy if you want to Skype with your grandparents or discuss something with a fellow student.
Compact and portable
An iPad is super handy to take with you everywhere, there is no doubt about that. Depending on the model, an iPad weighs less than half a kilogram. The iPad mini weighs between 300 and 308 grams, depending on the model! Perfect to take with you in the car, on a day trip, to the university or on a trip. It fits in your hand luggage without exceeding the permitted weight, and the iPad mini even fits in a handbag. It doesn't get any more convenient than that!
It is extremely convenient for watching movies, for example, as already mentioned, and the image quality is exceptionally good.
Multifunctional
The latest iPad models allow you to use two applications on the screen at the same time, which is super handy - and not possible with most tablets. This option is called “Split View”. The larger screen is also incredibly useful if you want to use Word or Excel on your tablet, for example, as you can see much more information at once compared to a smartphone. You can even use it to read e-books, saving you the purchase of an e-reader! Most apps that you have on your iPhone are also available on your iPad, and you can sync everything with your Apple account if you have other Apple products - be it a computer, Apple Watch , iPhone or iPod. This is of course one of the most useful qualities of an iPad. The iPad is also incredibly easy to use, and is therefore suitable for all ages. A nice gift idea for the grandparents in these times, to stay in touch, don't you think?
