I have an iPad also, and I agree, the battery does seem to go down quickly.
From what I can find out, they recommend that you update to the latest IOS software and also to close the apps you are not using.
Hope that helps.
I use my PC for watching movies in the evening when Emmerdale and Corrie are on TV as I have a large screen.
I would say that I use my iPad for 90% of the time and definitely is better than a laptop for me.
I'm new here.
I have a laptop, Which I use most of the time at home. I also have a tablet, which I use when I'm away from home. Though I do use it for games at home. I also have a smart phone. I love them all.
Beyond the lap top, we are still waiting for future technology to do what the most powerful lap top is capable of doing, so there are limitations with processing power, versatility and speed.
Many of us who do a lot of mega typing still prefer the keyboard to a screen, although the screens are popular with the younger generation whose use is mainly emails and social media.
Annabel, have you closed down all your unused apps on your devices which tend to be power hungry, hence hastily reducing battery life? 😳
It is only a matter of time that the most powerful lap top to-day will be superseded by a new form of tablet, which will change the way we do things forever....!!!!!!!!!! 😉 😉 😉
