Though iPads aren’t the cheapest tablets on the market, Apple absolutely slays the competition when it comes to apps. According to Apple, more than a half-million dedicated iPad apps have been released worldwide. The right set of apps can transform the iPad into nearly anything you desire. Want to watch a movie while relaxing in the backyard? Download the Netflix app.
Want to finish a proposal over brunch? Download Microsoft Word for iPad. Any task you want to do, there’s probably an app for that. A tablet is only as good as its apps. Even premium slates, the devices that possess supremely attractive designs and incredibly high-resolution displays, ultimately live or die on the strength of their app stores. What use is a tablet if there’s next to nothing to download to it?
