Hi, If you want a very small Windows laptop, there are quite a few that are around, or possibly less than, 10 inches. Acer and Asus I believe both make Netbook computers that are quite small. They are not going to have the battery life of an MacBook Air or an iPad.
You can write text documents very easily on the iPad. Technically, you can write Word documents with Pages, but personally the effort you have to go to to deal with all the work around to me is not worth it. You can search the archives of this list to find lots of comments about word processing, or even go to www.applevis.com and read about the various text editing apps that have been recommended for the Apple devices.

Thanks so much for that, But it's so expensive for me, I thik I will be with the notebook from Toshiba etc, it's muchmuch cheaper. I was thinking if the price for the I pad 2 or something is closer to the notebook, I will buy ipad. But what about writing documents on I pad, is it accessible?

The MacBook Air is a computer, the iPad is a tablet. You can connect USB devices to the Macbook Air, you cannot connect USB devices to the iPad--that includes external memory sticks, printers, CD drives, etc. You can get a lot more memory installed in a MacBookAir. I believe the smallest MacBook Air is 11 inches. Being a laptop, it has a physical keyboard built-in. I believe they start at around $1,100.00 and go up from there depending on memory etc. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ramy Moustafa Sent: Sunday, October 14, 2012 10:52 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Ipad or mini laptop?

Hi. It really depends on the tasks that you want to accomplish. If you're just taking notes, checking email, web browsing, etc, I'd just go with an iPad paired with a bluetooth keyboard for speed typing. If however, you're doing more advanced word processing, spreadsheets, etc, I'd go with a smaller laptop. These tasks can be more time wasting than productive on an iPad in my opinion. I'm in college now, and for some classes I'll just take my iPad for note taking and email. However, when I'm going to my accounting class for example, I'll take my MacBook Air so I can use Excel in virtual Windows. Hope this helps you make you're decision. Matthew Campbell.
