题目内容
【题目】We all know that Apple iPad is designed mainly for business people. But besides business people there are many other people who are interested in getting one. Students are very interested in the latest technology. So you cannot keep Apple iPad away from students. The question is: Should they buy an Apple iPad?
Apple iPad has many features that would work for students, which means that students do not have to carry books for references. They can use e-Books because Apple iPad has a big screen that makes reading a pleasure. You can even write on iPad. So it works as an all in one tool that is so light that it can be put in any backpack. The battery life of Apple iPad is for around 10 hours, which is clearly a good point for students. The touch screen is big and iPad does not create any noise while it is working. In a word, Apple iPad does have some features that would do good to students.
However, students might have to slow down their work because Apple iPad struggles when it comes to doing many tasks at the same time. It would create a problem if the student has to take down notes quickly while the iPad does not allow him/her to work well. Another thing that students might not be happy with is that there is no keyboard. Though iPad has an on-screen keyboard, it might not be as useful as a real keyboard. Apple iPad has no USB port(端口) or SD card slot(插卡槽), which means students will not be able to share information quickly among themselves.
Therefore, I don't think it's necessary for students to buy an iPad. It may not work as well as they expect. They can buy a netbook for their study. It would work better for them.
