5 Reasons I Only Use an iPad and How It Changed My Business

If you are in local sales, the device you need to own and master is the iPad. Other tablets cannot do what it does, especially when it comes to video. Here are my 5 reasons I ditched my laptop for it.

My name is Mike Stewart and I love working and presenting to local business owners my services in the Cumming/Forsyth area. When I would go on appointments, I used to take a heavy laptop that the battery died in less than two hours, and took forever to boot up, just to show my presentations.

But then I got an iPad to replace my laptop to do things like get to websites, check my email and make my presentations, it was great for that, any tablet does that great, but here are the reasons the iPad is best for me.

Reason #1. It runs all day on 1 charge, up to 10 hours

Reason #2. It is so light in weight, I carry it around like a book

Reason #3. It boots up in seconds, not minutes

Reason #4. The cameras and video recording where HD and much better than webcam on laptop, could be used as a camera - this was huge

Reason #5. And the slogan, "there's an app for it" is so true, over 750,000 and counting right now. But the apps on the iPad when it comes my passion of video, are superior to anything else because of Apple's history of video software development. The iMovie app has changed my business.

Websites and social media are hungry for great videos, and the fact you can do that so professionally and so easy to do on the iPad, businesses of all kinds need to see what is possible with video apps that range from $5 to free. There has never been a better solution for online video created.
