[QUOTE="MinaMACMan, post: 1060193, member: 30053"] That is a tricky one, and I am not sure if this will work. There is a great App called GoodReader and it works flawlessly to open a lot of different types of documents. It also connects to Dropbox. I was pleasantly surprised to see that when I booted it up that it detected a couple of different local servers on my school's WiFi network. So that might work for you. Worst case scenario you can always download the presentations to you MBP and then put them on your iPad through iTunes. I can't really help with keynote, but what I can tell you is that typing on the iPad, while not bad and you will get used to it after a day of use, might not be ideal for taking notes on the fly. But that could just be me :P Apple released a whole list of partnerships with different publishers for text books. But I haven't seen much yet. You can always check out amazon and use their kindle app for the iPad which works great and they have a ton of content. For the particular purpose the iPad would take the cake. It's small enough, yet has enough juice to do all the things you mentioned without a hitch. "Supplement to my current MBP"... You nailed it. That is exactly how I look at my iPad. It is this awesome sidekick to both my laptops that they could never do without. The camera connection kit will be great for back backing up your pictured to the iPad, you can then take the, to the MBP for your editing needs. Honestly... Since you mentioned that your current MBP is starting to fail, it might be worth it to hold off on the iPad and upgrade it first. Unless of course you can get it fixed a working good again. I personally bought the iPad to use while I am going back to school for my Master's degree this fall. I will be downloading all the PPT presentations to it to take to class, as well as some of the books. It will save me from lugging my laptop across campus all the time just to look at power points. For me personally pen and paper are the ultimate way to take notes, but that is also because I have to draw a lot of diagrams and so on. Hope that helps. Cheers, MMM [/QUOTE]
