I currently use a Macbook when presenting — that is heavy and cumbersome. I would like an iPad to make presenting in person easier and more comfortable. I would like audio equipment to start podcasting, this would help me to reach a wider audience and promote my consulting business.

I am currently attempting to scale my business which means marketing and quality advertising and I don't have the infrastructure to create those. My current laptop dies quickly making work difficult and currently I record content on my phone which translates poorly in editing software.

My computer is old, and slightly broken and is not working to speed. I vend often and [a tablet] would support in efficient transaction processing. My printer is slowly giving out and causing me to lose more money because it's not printing properly the labels I need for my products.
