You may have purchased it so that you could use it for business or for school.  Once you started using it, you wondered if it would ever be a good replacement for your laptop battery.  It’s a great question because the iPad is light, very portable, has long ibm laptop battery life, and it is perfect for doing most of the things you need to do.

First of all, you will want to get yourself set up with some accessories if you are going to fully replace your laptop battery with your iPad.  If you are comfortable with the on-screen typing of the iPad then don’t worry about a physical keyboard, but, inevitably you might run into a situation where a “real” keyboard makes sense.  The ibm battery keyboard dock is a great accessory to have as it holds up the iPad with it’s stand.  Some people don’t prefer this, however, and instead they actually prefer to get the apple battery Wireless Keyboard because it does not have a dock attached and because it is definitely more portable.

You will also need an iPad Case, iPad Folio, or iPad Bag to protect your investment.  If you are going to have accessories then you might want to check out some of these great iPad Bags.

Either way, if you plan to replace your laptop battery with just an iPad then getting a good keyboard should be a consideration.  There is no way to connect a bluetooth mouse to the iPad without some form of jailbreaking trickery so for now you will have to get comfortable using your finger as a mouse.
