PC-like power and slick keyboard and stylus accessories tailor Apple’s big tablet for productivity and art—but it remains very much an iPad.
First, a disclaimer. For the past four years, I’ve used an iPad—equipped with a third-party keyboard and stylus—as my primary computer. I’ve written magazine cover stories, blogged, wrangled spreadsheets, edited photos and videos, marked up PDFs, recorded podcasts, drawn and painted, and pretty much done all the other things I was once most likely to do on a conventional computer. I started back when a fair number of people confidently maintained that iPads were useful only for consumption, not creation, and have never stopped.
