Computers have changed significantly over the years. I remember growing up using a family desktop computer running on Windows XP that was set up in our living room and it wasn’t some posh all-in-one PC, no it was a Dell of some variation with a separate 17-inch monitor, speakers and a generic mouse and keyboard.

Technology has significantly changed since those days, nowadays we all have smartphones which can arguably be a great substitute for the majority of tasks we would have used a computer for.

Since I graduated from university last year, the way I use computers at home has changed significantly. My laptop usage has drastically dropped whereas my iPad Pro usage has increased to such an extent that I can call it my primary computer!

After using my iPad as my main computer for almost a year, I decided to share my experience with you!

How It All Started

Over the past 5 years, I was a university student studying for an undergraduate and a postgraduate degree in Computer science. The reason I’m mentioning this is that it has significance to the way I was using my laptop and tablet. I primarily used a Windows laptop for my coursework and a tablet for note-taking and research.
