When you’re in the market for a new Apple^® device, it can be easy to be stuck between an iPad^® and MacBook^®. While both are good for users who travel and have many similarities, there are clear differences that emerge when you take a closer look. Here’s a deeper dive into these two extraordinary products to help you decide which is best for your needs. 

MacBook Laptops

These devices are generally better for professionals who need a computer for their jobs. They offer higher computing power and memory, allowing you to run complex software and hold more files. The slight downside of that extra power is that you’re handling a bigger machine in a physical sense. While a MacBook will still fit easily in any backpack or suitcase, they tend to be a bit heavier. On another note, MacBook laptops feature a friendlier, traditionally sized keyboard. While the difference is not tremendous, that extra comfort starts to matter if you plan on doing a lot of typing. 

iPad Tablets

iPad tablets can perform many of the same functions that individuals do on their computers, such as web browsing, photo editing, and media streaming. If your needs do not extend much beyond those baseline functions, an iPad is an excellent, convenient device that is especially easy to carry around with you. One limitation is if you’re a serious gamer, it might not have the computer power to run the software; on the plus side, the touch screen makes the device extraordinarily easy and fun to use.
