Why would you want to get an iPad?

There were many people in my life that I came across with asked if they should get an iPad. I will then throw the question back to them, why would they even need one?

Many of them could not provide a good answer for it. They simply say “because it is fancy having one”. I really agree with that sentence of fancy having one. As you bumped into someone using iPad in a party, or as you are shopping and you see someone holding a tablet like that, would you think “I wish I have one too!”?

To really think about it, there is really no reason for us to get an iPad unless we need to perform a presentation to customer/clients, showing them products in a very creative and professional way.  An iPad is a tablet device which categorized in between a personal laptop computer and a cell phone. What it simply means is that it can’t perform up to the level of a laptop but it provides more than a cell phone. So you would not want to carry and extra item with you always unless you needed to right?

The story is going to turn to 180 degree now. To a gadget person like myself, I would certainly look into the possibility of getting every type of gadget I could possibly get. But this is product has the least priority in all my other gadgets. I would still get it for various reasons.

First, I am not the type of person who complains about carrying an extra item wherever I go. I had been bringing my DSLR camera everywhere I go, literally (please don’t be sarcastic to think that I would even bring it to toilet). When you see me in shopping malls, hanging out anywhere, you would see my DSLR bag hanging around my shoulder. The only time when I do not bring my DSLR camera is when I am going into a theater. So, carrying an extra item certainly won’t burden me as much as other people do.

Second, I view it as a convenient thing to perform my daily task everywhere I go when I have some free time. Especially when I have to wait for friends who always late to a meeting, or queuing to get ticket for movies, or being stuck in a massive traffic jam where literally you are like parking on the spot etc, I would certainly find it useful. Right now, I enjoy reading books. I am on “Why Mars and Venus Collide” and I find that there are so many things about relationship that I did not know.  Having an iPad, also known as a good reading tool, I will certainly find it beneficial. Of course, there are some other conveniences as well. I could easily show my friends pictures I have taken, editing them right on the tablet (there is a new awesome app created by apple to make editing picture so convenient), play games, reading articles/news whenever I want.

Having these two reasons are sufficient enough for me to get one given that the price isn’t that expensive (I am just going to get a lowest range, 16GB with 3G). Plus, I will feel good to think that I own various types of gadget. Perhaps some people would think that I am a rich brat who just simply gets anything that I see; they are just totally wrong. I would not get something if there is no reason to get it. In addition, I fully utilize all of the gadgets that I owned, like literally. I won’t get anything if I were to put them into dust. I am always happy/ never regret getting something that I bought.

So, I am looking forward for the new iPad to be launched in Malaysia. Most likely next month it will hit Malaysia I guess.
