Many people opt for an iPad over a classic laptop because of its functionality, durability and top-of-the-line specs. The iPad can do everything your laptop does–and sometimes better–so you’ll be happy to have one for work. Plus, the Apple wireless keyboard is super chic with its thin design and brushed aluminum finish that perfectly matches other Apple products.
