One week without my laptop
Joyce's website on my iPad
The iPad is by no means a laptop but could I go through one week without using my laptop? This is the question I wanted to answer for myself. There are many function which I need my laptop. For example, the iPad does not allow me to use SSH, therefore I cannot use it to program in my dev environment.
Just how much do I use the laptop to do real work? I decided to find out last week. When I received my iPad, I put away my laptop for 1 week. I’m posting this blog entry using my laptop and its has the been the first time that I wanted to use the laptop.
The weather is a little bit cold but I wanted to go and sit at Les Enfantes Terribes and do some work. My Macbook Air had completely drained its battery so starting up took quite a bit longer than usual, but it feels good to be back on my laptop.
So what did I learn this week? My $1800 laptop could almost be replaced by a $500 device. The only reason I’m using it today is to do some programming. For people who already have a primary computer at home, this is a great device to take with you instead of a laptop.

Got the iPads!
Apple iPads!
UPS delivered the iPads today. Not sure who they go to yet. We got them for development, so I’m not even sure I’ll be using one since I have zero time right now to hack on it.
