Can you swap your work laptop for an iPad?

Tired of lugging your laptop on business trips? Imagine leaving your clunky laptop at home and getting virtually all of your work done on a slim iPad. Yes, it’s possible. But you’ll need adept planning, as well as some hardware, cloud services, and special apps.

With mobile apps becoming more sophisticated and cloud services making storage and data access as easy as finding an Internet connection, the iPad is proving to be a real laptop stand-in. In fact, the iPad’s dramatic rise in the enterprise has some people wondering whether or not Apple’s game-changing device can actually replace laptops in the future.

MacWorld 2011 – A review.

Just prior to the opening of the 2011 Macworld Expo, my colleague Christopher Breen and I mused that it would be interesting to count all the iPad cases on display on the show floor.

After browsing just the first aisle and a half, my tally was 16 iPad case models, 23 iPhone cases, a handful of iPod touch cases, four iPhone-battery cases, and a few iPad cases with built-in keyboards or batteries. Keep in mind that these were just case models—most were available in a slew of colors or designs, putting the number of cases that looked different much, much higher.

At that point, I came upon the Trexta booth, which hosted hundreds of i-device coverings. When I asked a Trexta PR representative how many different iPhone cases the company sold, I was greeted with a blank stare, a shrug, and a response that amounted to, “We sell so many different models, even I can’t keep track.” That’s when I called off the count.
