As we know all know laptops are not good to use as regular use workstations without the use of additional peripherals (such as external screens, keyboards and a mouse) usually connected using a docking station.
Well, it looks like the new iPad is introducing new challenges for workstation safety.
From a health and safety standpoint using an iPad as much as you would your PC/laptop would be a bad idea. But I don’t think that many people will want to replace their laptop or PC with an iPad, no matter how lovely it looks it does not do what most people need their work PC to do.
