You will be limited in the ways you can get content onto the device, mostly by using the iTunes app which may mean paying for your music a second time if you own it on a different way than through iTunes.
IMO tablets are great but no replacement for a computer but iPads are able to do office work, web browsing, email, etc. all on their own. A lot of the basic tasks you would ask of a computer can be done from your iPad if you want to stick to just one device.
And that's exactly what I use my iPad for. My computing needs are very simplistic. As far as multimedia content like movies and music, I only stream. I don't buy music, I have a subscription for Beats and use Netflix for movies. So I don't move content at all. I use the cloud for everything really. So actually storage on the device is not a big concern. I just need enough for the apps that I need to download and the pictures and videos that I take. I realize that others have computing needs far greater than mine. But this is how I get away with using my iPad as my main computing device. And it will be from now on. I wouldn't trade my iPad Air for any desktop or laptop computer. I really enjoy the versatility and the ease of use.
Sent from my iPad Air. Simply better than the rest.
