The iPad Numbers app for $10 can handle all but the most sophisticated Excel spreadsheets. I moved several of my spreadsheets with linked graphs and some pretty elaborate functions beginning a year ago, and I haven't found one it couldn't handle yet. Very few people use more than 10% of Excel's full capability.I'm looking forward to buying the MS tablet in January that has the full-blown version of Windows 8. I use a Kindle Fire now and find myself using a computer less and less. A tablet that will run my spreadsheets is what I've been waiting for. Sitting at a desk to access the Internet seems so un-user friendly anymore.
I never thought it could come to this...but I may have already bought my last desktop or laptop computer. If I were still working I might feel differently but for what I need anymore a tablet seems the way to go. So, if Windows 8 on the new Surface will really run Excel and Word I'm all set.
Nothing against the Surface/Ultrabooks and Win8, just sayin you can do it now...
I suspect I'm working on my last desktop too. Right now we have a desktop, a laptop, an iPad, 3 iPods and two semi-smartphones (slow browsing & few apps). I expect I'll have a router at home, a laptop & a (hotspot) smartphone when all is said and done. As much as I love my iPad, a laptop might be better than a desktop & tablet. Fun times (really)...
