Apple Lover Sells iPad, Replaces It With MacBook

BusinessInsider’s Steve Kovach says his personally owned computer hardware almost always comes from Apple, his current fleet including an iPhone 5, an Apple TV, and a MacBook Air, and he used to have an iPad, but he sold it last week for $400, just $100 less than what I paid for it on launch day in March 2012.

Howcum? Kovach says that for months his iPad had remained on his nightstand, untouched, due to a strange twist in his computing habits. He notes that when he first got his iPad, he found himself using it more than his MacBook, but he started using it less and less this year mostly because he was working a lot more when away from the office, and for writers, an iPad isn’t an ideal device to get things done, and a full-fledged PC needed to do his job well, so he found myself spending much more time on his MacBook, and realized he could still do a lot of things on it that he could do on the iPad, and then some.

He acknowledges that iPads and other tablets appear to be cannibalizing the traditional PC market, but allows that in most cases, if you need to get work done, an iPad or other tablet really doesn’t cut it, and until someone figures out the perfect hybrid device, I don’t see a need to carry around three different computing form factors.
