    For reading texting and browsing the web do you use your iPad mini iPad or iPhone? I'm stuck between iPhone or mini iPad to browse the web and read and such. I love the bigger screen and longer battery life for the mini iPad but still to big for me to carry around with me and such. Do you use the mini iPad and somehow have a way to carry the iPad with u? If so how? I'm reading and texting a TON and my battery life goes down fast x.x so any suggestions?

    I prefer to use the computer I find seek does not work on my phone and I find it difficult to to more than one thing on the iPad, watching legal tv and browsing the tv will stop running and listen to YouTube and browsing the YouTube will stop. So maybe a laptop? Mostly I use my phone when I'm out as I don't carry the iPad as it is large. It is good for browsing at home or at someone's house but not in public.

    MacBook and iPhone cover 90% of my needs. I prefer doing all reading and surfing on the laptop because there's a bug in iOS 8*Safari's search bar.

    I've got bloody everything and I use it all! I have an iPhone 6 128GB, iPad Air 2 Cellular 128GB, MacBook Pro and a Desktop PC. My iPad fits in my glovebox and seen as I do all my travelling by car that's perfect for me, but at home I only really use my iPad to play games as I use my Mac for interwebs and that. Except from when I wake up and I'm too lazy to plug my Mac in, the iPad's perfect for that :lol:

    Either way the iPad processor is ridiculously fast and now there's a 128GB version means when I get back to my hotel I can take all the photos off my SD card. I don't take my MacBook with me anymore unless I'm away for more than 3 days.

    I have a 2012 MacBook Pro, mid-range iMac, and an iPad Air 2. I do most of my browsing and reading on my iPad because it is actually (Ignoring the hardware differences) faster then my Macbook. The screen is large enough to use and the Retina Display is incredible (Compared to the 1200 * 800 MacBook screen).

    Ipad. You can't buy a pair of new eyes or better sight at shops.

    At least not yet.

    About battery life...

    Turn off bluetooth and wifi when not in use.
    Check what apps are running on the background, and close what is not in use.
    Brightness... Try to keep it at a moderate level, find a compromise.

    There is more out there, but this is what you should check first.

    My I phone because I'm too lazy to go down stairs to use my pc, and I don't have an ipad. Also iphones are smaller, so less light is produced so it's more likley I can go all night on the internet without my parents finding out.

    MacBook Pro most of the time. I do not have an iPad. I do have an iPhone 4S, but obviously it's small, but it will work in a pinch when I'm out and about.

    I find when I'm at home, I prefer my iPad over my iPhone. I use it for browsing, texting, etc. Of course I also have a MacBook and I use that even more...having all three makes for some weird choices.

    I use my iPhone so I can lay down comfortably holding the phone with one hand for a (very) long period of time :grin:

    I use my iPhone for a lot of my web browsing. But for everything else, I'm sticking with my Mac book. I can't say I've ever had the chance to try out an iPad, not a huge prority purchase for me. Most of the time, I actually use EC on my phone and it's an exercise in precision let me tell you. But it did make me a fast typist.

    Umm...

    I use my iPhone for iPhone stuff like texting, emailing, music... I'll look something up if I have to.

    I prefer to use my MacBook Pro to go online...

    Then I use my iPad for entertainment mostly.

    My iPad mini definitely has a long lasting battery I LOVE IT!! I actually take it EVERYWHERE with me. Only time I leave it home is if I need to charge it. I carry it in my purse. I keep a case on it 24/7 so it doesn't get destroyed. I definitely suggest getting the iPad mini! I do everything I do on my iPhone on my iPad, I read emails, I read, go on social media, surf the web, and play games.
