iPad rant


Lost

793 views

I've had a first generation iPad for just over a year now, I was bought it for my 18th birthday, my younger brother managed to convince a few of my family members that I wanted one (which I didn't), don't get me wrong, I am grateful for my gift and if I could change it I wouldn't, it's just so damn slow.

 

I primarily use this thing for writing, web browsing and recently I've been using it for drawing, but I have noticed that it is rather slow, most noticeably when typing long sentences or loading webpages with a fair amount f images or text, to load a page on these forums for example can take up to a minute and it has a tendency to skip up and down the page while I scroll and reset the typing field. But it's not just the web pages, when typing it takes it a few seconds to catch me up, when you press a key it Simms the key down, but when I'm typing I often find it not writing anything at all for a few seconds then typing it all in one go, highlighting all the keys I pressed at once.

 

 

 

I've also noticed a large amount of lag when drawing, I will make brush strokes on the page and it will take it a few seconds to catch up, but I expected this anyway so it doesn't bother me too much.

 

Long story short, sometimes my iPad pisses me off to the point of wanting to throw it at a wall,slow tech irritates me too much though, maybe should invest in a new one.

I have noticed this lag too, but what I really hated is that you can't listen to music from one tab to another while web browsing.

Sell it for about 150-200 dollars, then buy an android tablet. My personal recommendation is the Asus nexus 7. Very fast, smooth browsing, just a smaller screen and not as much disk space.
