Zagg profolio+ image credit: james kendrick/ zdnet the ipad has revolutionized the way i approach my writing and i am regularly asked how i use it. I originally wrote about the ipad as a solid system for writing a year and a half ago and the tablet is still serving me well. I have used a number of tablets for writing work since then and while most of them work just fine i always come back to the ipad for a number of reasons. It's hard to believe but i hear regularly from folks who refuse to believe that the ipad can be use productively for my work.

 the fact is the ipad with a physical keyboard is a no compromise tool for my writing. It works well for a number of reasons:

    long battery life i never think about battery life on the ipad, unlike most other pcs/tablets. Retina display the screen on the ipad makes it possible to work for hours without eyestrain. Small package i can carry the ipad in the keyboard case in the smallest bag possible, making it easy to move around. Taller display the ipad's screen is taller than other tablets with a wider screen. Focus having multiple apps on the screen at once can be nice, but for writing the one app on the screen eliminates distraction. I hit the do not disturb toggle on the ipad to turn off notifications when i'm writing.

    Speed to production i can take the ipad out of the bag and be where i left off in the last session in just a few seconds.

i currently use an ipad 4 with 64gb of memory which frankly is overkill and most importantly integrated lte. The lte capability is a godsend, freeing me from needing to find a wi fi hotspot. I could forego the physical keyboard if i wanted to, i know some who do that regularly. My writing projects can be 1,0 2,0 words so a real keyboard makes my work much easier. I've tried most popular keyboard cases for the ipad see related link above and i've settled on the zagg profolio+. The case protects the ipad from the bumps of the road, and has a fantastic keyboard that supports fast touch typing.
