Getting a printer which supports Airprint is a very minor investment if that is all holding you back. Whether just iOS would do the trick for you is something you have to decide, I for one would not want to be without a laptop or desktop, but then again I'm also a Windows user and you can find some very inexpensive but decent Windows computers compared to what Macs cost. Again, this is strictly my experience and how I like to work, but using Jaws and Chrome or Firefox browsing for me is so much more efficient, I have to do a lot of checking of my bank and credit card websites for my business and that includes copying and pasting stuff from websites into Excel, I use PDF files a lot some of which are not accessible hence I use Jaws OCR to recognize and read them and again I do a lot of copying and pasting of information from PDF reports generated by my point of sale software into Excel and there just is no way this can be done efficiently and quickly with iOS. Then there is working with spreadsheets in general, if that is not something you have to do or almost never have to do then maybe that would be OK, I live in Excel because of my business. iOS and thje iPhone are fantastic, but I prefer to use whatever tool is most suited and at this point I don't consider iOS a tool which can do it all just as in my woodworking the table saw is an incredibly versitiele tool and one no serious woodworker can do without, but there are many things where you do need additional tools apart from a good table saw.

They aren’t doing complicated things, however. The main thing getting in my way of perhaps doing it, is when I might need to do major copying and pasting, and being able to print, because I can’t connect wirelessly with the printer I have.

I have been thinking about just sticking with ios and not getting a laptop at all anymore but that is a big step. I have had laptops since 1998 but Iuse mine so seldomly that would be a bit of a waste of money. Still its a big jump, are there people who have done this already and what are your experiences? Can office on ios be used? Greetings, Anouk, -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
