It is very scary to open it up, but there are a lot of video tutorials online. It'll save you a lot of money, and your iPad will be back in working condition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-ipad-fix-replace-or-buy-something-else#post-1564844 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:56:21 +0000 sunny 1564844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my mac book air but it is at a very different price point than an iPad. </p> <p>Do you own a real computer at home? If so then maybe you could get another tablet and use the computer when you need a keyboard. </p> <p>Otherwise there are some really budget friendly laptops out there now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-ipad-fix-replace-or-buy-something-else#post-1564836 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 13:45:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1564836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dropped my iPad a few days ago. This time without the case fully on and it shattered :sad: Since the price of fixing it is so high, I'm thinking about either replacing it or taking the plunge and finally getting a new laptop (maybe an ultrabook).</p> <p>I know an iPad is different from a laptop, but I'm curious to hear recommendations. I was really attached to my iPad, but I wish it was lighter and still preferred a pc when it came to things like shopping and anything that required a lot of writing, so I'm guessing an ultrabook might bed a good fit.</p> <p>Love your iPad, iPad Air, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air or other ultrabook? Please share why :heart: </p>
