Transform Your Work Experience with the iPad
Are you always on the go? Or maybe your work takes you to all kinds of different places. Maybe you simply have the travel bug and want to get away with ease. If this sounds like you, consider changing your work setup from a Mac to an iPad. Even if you love your Mac, read on to find out how you can elevate your work experience by adding an iPad!
What makes an iPad different from a Mac? iPads can shift from tablet to laptop to desktop with the help of only a few accessories, giving you the capability of a touch-enabled device that the Mac cannot provide. Additionally, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is lighter at only 1.4 lbs, compared to the 13.3-inch MacBook Air which is two times as heavy at 2.8 lbs.
Here are some accessories that can help you transform your iPad into the ultimate workstation—anywhere, anytime.
Mouse - You can connect a mouse via Bluetooth or USB. Another option would be to use the iPad’s custom cursor which provides a similar experience of a mouse using only touch!
iPad Stand - An iPad stand holds your iPad in place to create a desktop-like setup if you’d like to adjust the angle at which you are viewing your screen.
Magic Keyboard - Apple’s wireless and rechargeable keyboard means you can type as you normally would on a Mac, using your iPad! With a connected keyboard, you can use supported keyboard shortcuts on your iPad. A list of shortcuts for any app can be found by holding down the Command key for a menu to appear. The menu is interactive, so you can click (or tap!) on any option.
Apple Pencil - Draw, take notes, and so much more, right on your screen with the wireless Apple Pencil.
Remember that these accessories are not necessary, just a bonus! The iPad itself has built-in features that make it a great work tool.
iCloud Syncing - Download files and access them on your iPad! iCloud allows you to carry on with your work right where you left off, providing a seamless work experience from Mac to iPad to iPhone.
Instant Note - You don’t even have to unlock your iPad to take notes or write reminders! Just grab your Apple Pencil, tap the screen on an iPad in sleep mode, and start taking notes. No more reaching for a post-it note or navigating through your computer tabs searching for a place to type notes. With the iPad, it’s all at your fingertips.
Built-in LTE - The iPad Pro offers a Wi-Fi + Cellular feature that enables LTE connectivity, which the MacBook does not. Connect to the internet anywhere!
So if you’re looking to replace your Mac, the iPad may be the way to go. Not only does it offer a ton of features to improve your workflow, but the iPad is also lighter and can easily adapt to both a laptop or desktop environment. But the best news? You can have it both ways: the Mac and the iPad are a perfect pair.
