IPad is the best writing tools?

If the iPad 2 plus external keyboard, so it and laptop computers have what different? CNET reporter James Kendrick, and Harry McCracken Technologizer chose the iPad 2 as their most important job tools.

McCracken found, he used the iPad 2 time has far more than Macbook Air:

From many Angle, I found it (iPad 2) is a perfect tool. Almost 80% of the time I am using it, and use the Macbook Air time accounts for about 20%. But I don't intend to restore old habits.

Body small, super long endurance, they choose iPad 2 is the main reason. The two reasons people familiar, but another reason people may not understand. Kendrick and McCracken found simple iPad 2 but make them more easy to "focus". Kendrick says:

Tablet computer born "one application", let the iPad 2 and keyboard combination makes writing became so high efficiency. Running applications cover the whole screen, make you focus. In the writing process, only constant input to the words on the screen, will not have the distractions of appear,.

Use the computer writing would be so distraction? Will. Kendrick and McCracken complain, whether Windows or Mac, complex menus, frequent suddenly appeared software update tip, and finish the job, should constantly adjusting software the size of the window, for the maximize, minimize; If a software to stop operation, you have to manually "kill process"; According to my own experience, and frequently more programs in switch, also can make a person more distracted.

Get rid of trival, stay focused, this is the iPad better place than notebook computer.

We rely on a living writing, know when writing into "areas (in the zone) chance is how precious." Field "is a word to let out the speed reached the typing speed the limits of the spirit domain. I found with iPad than by computer more frequent into this spirit domain. I think this is because my attention had to focus on the mission, and this is priceless.

However, Kendrick also admitted that some things on the computer may be as long as run a program can fix, in the iPad 2 May need to start several applications to complete, it will affect the work efficiency. But I believe, iPad occasional trival, will not affect the choice of Kendrick, because the opportunity to enter the "field" is priceless.
