This isn’t exactly wrong, but the idea that iPads “do more” doesn’t quite capture what’s really going on.

iPads only do more for those who are incompetent with general purpose computers. Which is most people, so yes for the majority of people from their perspective an iPad can do more as they have no clue how to use their desktop PC.

I have an iPad. I bought it for and use it for one thing only: reading eBooks due to its great screen.

For every other thing I could possibly use it for, it’s far slower and far, far clunkier to use than my desktop PC or the MacBook Pro.

So for the computer-incompetent, tablets can indeed do more. For the other 2-10% of society, using a tablet for anything substantive is like attempting to tear down a brick wall with a fingernail file – yes, it can be done, but it’s going to take a few years while a wrecking ball (read: general purpose computer) can get that same task done in a few seconds.
