How to Buy an iPad

One of the hottest gadgets on the market today is the Apple iPad, a revolutionary tablet computer that's easy to use and more convenient than a bulky laptop. This article will offer tips on what options you have purchasing and setting up your iPad.
Steps


1
Visit Apple's website and learn as much as you can about the iPad. Do you really need all of the features encased within the iPad, or would a smaller iPod Touch work better? Do you need 3G network coverage, or standard WiFi? Can you afford all of these perks, or just the device itself? Wage these options and decide on which iPad would suit your needs best.


2
Decide on what the primary use of your iPad will be. Do you plan on using it for leisure (games, browsing the web, reading iBooks), or for business only (email, banking, etc.)? This step is very important, as you can determine what features will work best for your lifestyle, but using it for both purposes is perfectly fine as well.

3
Once you've read up on the iPad and decided on buying it, go out for the purchase. There are currently three ways you can order an iPad:
* In-store: Visit an Apple Store location near you and tell a salesperson you'd like to purchase an iPad;
* Over the phone: Call Apple's Customer Service telephone line (1-800-MY-APPLE);
* On Apple's website: Order direct from Apple's website and have your iPad, as well as any other accessories, shipped directly to your door (via FedEx in the United States).

4
Consider the technical specifications. There are currently three levels of storage space on Apple's iPads, which are the following:
* 16 Gigabyte ($499 USD): The least expensive model; adequate for home or limited use, as well as storing apps and music.
* 32 Gigabyte ($599 USD): The moderatley-priced model; good for storing lots of apps (shorthand for applications), music, and several movies.
* 64 Gigabyte ($699 USD): The highest priced model, but offers a generous amount of storage space for apps, music, videos, movies, iBooks, etc.

5
Choose between a WiFi model or one with 3G coverage. The only difference between these two models is the latter can access the Internet anywhere coverage is available, while users of the WiFi models can only browse the web where Internet access is attainable. The 3G models are supported by AT&T Wireless, and are adequate for frequent travelers, but require a $30.00 monthly charge for Internet coverage.

6
Lastly, add on any accessories. While the iPad comes with a charger and USB cable, you can choose from a leather case (see above photo), charger extension cord, headphones, etc.

7
Once you've purchased your iPad or have it delivered, carefully unbox it and connect it to Apple's iTunes. This will register the device into your computer and allow you to synchronize songs, apps, movies, photos, etc. from iTunes to your iPad.

8
Enjoy your new iPad! Browse the web, view photos, listen to music, play games, watch movies, and appreciate the enhanced and enlarged screen size!
