What is it like to do normal PC applications with such an ipad? E.g. applications, Excel spreadsheets, Word, PDF? Is it suitable? Or not so much?
In my opinion, an iPad is not particularly suitable for normal PC applications such as writing applications, creating Excel spreadsheets or editing Word documents. There are several reasons why I see it that way:
1. **Handling**: Using an iPad is not as comfortable as using a normal PC or laptop, especially if you are used to using a mouse and keyboard. The lack of a right mouse click and the limited functions of the Apple Pencil make editing documents and spreadsheets more difficult.
2 **Versions of Word and Excel**: The iPad versions of Word and Excel are usually slimmed-down versions of the desktop versions. This means that certain functions are missing or limited, which can affect productivity.
3 **Saving files**: Saving files on an iPad is not as easy as on a Windows PC or a MacBook. You often have to save via the cloud, which can be confusing and cumbersome for someone used to traditional file storage structures.
4 **Switching from Microsoft to Apple**: When you switch from Microsoft to Apple, it's already a big change. Trying to make the switch on an iPad can be particularly frustrating. I experienced this myself when I first tried to work with an iPad during my studies. In the end, I switched to a MacBook and was much happier with it.
Overall, I find that a MacBook or a conventional PC is more suitable if you regularly work with Office applications and need the familiar functions and user-friendliness. The iPad can certainly be useful in some areas, but I don't think it's the best choice for intensive office work.
It is suitable, but you don't have a mouse like on a PC. Therefore, my recommendation would be to also order the Apple Pencil
