How to turn your iPad into a true laptop replacement

Can an iPad replace a laptop? That’s a question with an obvious answer: Yes, it can. It has a screen, runs apps, and can connect to the Internet. The real question is not whether an iPad can replace a laptop, but whether you can use it for that purpose without rage-quitting Google Docs and chucking it out a window. Again, the answer is yes—but it does take some effort, in both your setup and how you use your iPad.
