What Should I Buy? Laptop Or Tablet - Part 2

Tablets: The iPad Advantage - Battery life

Chances are, your laptop needs to be plugged in most of the time as its battery lasts only an hour or two. With an iPad, you'll be freed from the mains all day, since it will last for at least eight (if not 10 or 12) hours of constant use. If you're considering an Android tablet, check the manufacturer's claimed battery life or our reviews as some tablets last for a much shorter time between charges.

There is one update to this - the latest generation of Intel 4th-generation Core processors offer much improved laptop battery life. So much so that a brand new Ultrabook could offer up to 14 hours of battery life. But this is very much the exception in the laptop world, and a new Ultrabook would likely set you back a lot more than would an iPad. See also: iPad mini vs Nexus 7 2 comparison review.
