Transitioning from a laptop to a tablet? Here's some advice
14.06.11
This year, when Apple set up a pop-up store in downtown Austin for the launch of its iPad 2 during South by Southwest, Muehlbauer was first in line to buy the upgrade.
Muehlbauer, the former owner of an event-planning business, used to own a bulky, heavy Toshiba tablet computer back when a tablet was basically a laptop with a touch screen. But the latest tablets, including the iPad 2, Motorola’s Xoom, the BlackBerry PlayBook and dozens of others appearing this year, have made it possible for early adopters like Muehlbauer to do most of their computing on a slim, light device.
Muehlbauer carries around the iPad, an Android phone and a mobile 4G hotspot for constant Internet access, the same Net connection he uses at home. He says it’s changed the way he creates (videos, presentations, Tweets) and works.
“Apple finally got it down as far as making the tablet what it’s supposed to be,” he said. “It’s something I can bring around and carry with me. It’s that notepad that everybody’s always wanted that has everything in it.”
