Hi,
Since having our personal laptop stolen, we've been thinking about replacing it in the near future. My wife has mentioned getting an iPad instead of a laptop, but I'm not sure I'll be able to edit my photos (raw) on an iPad............ I'm not very tech savvy, I was just starting to get used to lightroom on the old laptop, will I be able to have lightroom on an iPad ?

Thanks.
 
You can edit on an iPad but it is no where near ideal for editing...the input is no where near as precise as a mouse :D not to mention getting files on an off etc...for most things there are work arounds but it's never really going to be a suitable tool for editing all IMO of course
 
I think once calibrated they look amazing with deep and rich colours, my mum has one and I calibrated it with a spyder 4 elite which made it far better than stock but I wouldn't use it for editing because the apps that you can get don't seem good enough yet.
 
I don't think there's anything that can edit raw files on the iPad.

I'd go for a cheap laptop and a supermarket Android tablet for email, web, iPlayer, Netflix etc.
 
Thanks for the info guys. I think I'm going to get a cheapish laptop just for editing photos (I have a works laptop for emails/web browsing etc etc). I already have an android tablet thingy but it's not up to much I don't think. Got it last Xmas but it's very very slow and not that responsive when touched. I might try and clean it down to factory settings and start again with it?

Thanks again guys,
Rich
