How does an iPad compare with other computers when it comes to environmental impact? Will I save electricity by using an iPad rather than a laptop?
It is the heralding of the iPad as a transformative technology – one that profoundly changes the way we use computers - that makes this particular debate so interesting. As has already been discussed below, we have to view the iPad's environmental impact in this context. Is it the long-fabled digital bridge that will lead us away from methods of content delivery that are reliant on dead trees, compact discs and cathode ray tubes? Or will it end up being just another example of disposable electronica that will keep us all amused for a couple of years before the Next Big Thing comes along (no doubt produced by Apple)?
