1 Louise: In favour of iPads.

I really like my iPad. It’s great fun to use. You can move things or turn pages just by touching the screen. Also, it’s got about 10 hours of battery life. I can put all my music on my iPad and the speakers are excellent. I can also watch films or TV programmes on it, and the picture quality is fantastic. I’ve got an application called iBooks. This is a type of eReader and you can keep lots of books on it. go online

I also use my iPad to and visit my favourite websites. I can check my e-mail, too, and play video games on it. It’s great!

2 Morgan: Against iPads.

My mum’s got an iPad but I don’t use it very much. Basically, I prefer my laptop. It can do everything an iPad can do... and it’s much cheaper. OK, iPads look nice, and the touchscreen is fun to use,

but the keyboard is quite small and you can’t type very quickly on it.

The real problem for me is that there’s nothing an iPad can do that my laptop can’t do. Fot example, with my laptop I can watch films, listen to music, read books and go online. Can an iPad do anything else? No, I don’t think so. In my opinion, if you’ve already got a laptop or computer, you don’t need to buy an iPad!
