Things Your PC Can Do That Your iPad Can’t

In recent years, there has been an ongoing debate on which device is better – PC or iPad. While both devices have their own unique features, it’s important to recognize that PCs have certain capabilities and functions that iPads simply cannot perform. Here are a few things your PC can do that your iPad can’t.

1. Run powerful software:

PCs have an advantage when it comes to running demanding software programs such as video editing software, gaming software, and 3D modeling applications. These programs require high-performance hardware components that only PCs can offer. While the iPad has some powerful software apps, it cannot match the level of performance a PC provides.

2. Expandable storage:

While some iPad models come with expandable storage, most iPads do not provide users with the option to expand storage externally. PC users can add hard drives, external hard drives, and USB drives to increase storage capacity, making it ideal for storing large files such as pictures, videos, and music.

3. Dual-monitor support:

With a PC, you can add multiple monitors to your setup, which provides you with more screen real estate and a better level of productivity. This feature is particularly useful for gamers, graphic designers, and traders who need to keep multiple windows open at the same time. iPads do not support this kind of feature limitation.

4. High-speed internet connectivity:

Many modern PCs come equipped with Ethernet ports, which enable them to connect directly to Ethernet networks for faster internet speeds, making them more ideal for online gaming or streaming video compared to iPads that typically rely on Wi-Fi.

5. Play games with a mouse and keyboard:

While iPads now have gaming capabilities and gaming-specific hardware, some games are better played with a mouse and keyboard. A PC offers the option to customize your control settings with the use of higher-quality gaming mice and keyboards, making it easier to play games that require fast reflexes and precision.

6. Run multiple applications simultaneously:

One of the best things about PCs is that they can run multiple applications and software at the same time, making it easy to switch between tasks without worrying about slow performance. This is particularly useful for business users who need to switch between various applications and software throughout the day.

In conclusion, while iPads are great devices for simple tasks and on-the-go productivity, when it comes to heavy-duty tasks that require high-performance hardware, your PC is the device to use. With its powerful software, expandable storage, dual-monitor support, high-speed internet connectivity, gaming capabilities with a mouse and keyboard and the ability to run multiple applications simultaneously, the PC is still the device of choice for many individuals and businesses today.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
