If the iPad is backed up to iCloud or to a computer then it's quite simple setting up a new iPad. You plug it in or connect it to iCloud, and it will do it's thing and restore everything from the old iPad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If there was enough to restore from the old iPad, would she need so badly to get a new one?

I think he's saying that if my new (and only one ever) iPad is defective, the apps I've managed to download would be backed up, so if I got one that's good, I could restore them.

I hadn't thought you'd managed to get that much on it. Congrats!
I find Safari a pretty unusable browser. I tend to keep two or three open, but three times as many windows open in Opera. Opera has its issues, but Safari just told me it had to reload all 9 open windows because I backed up in my browser history on one of them, and well--not "just". It's been going for more than five minutes right now and all the windows are blank. It could never be my primary browser just based on the request to reload, but NOTHING IS HAPPENING.

The power cord for my (Dell) laptop is not working properly - can I just buy any computer power cord or does it have to be specific to this particular model of laptop?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What model Dell?
My Targus travel charger has worked out well for me, and it came with a variety of adapter tips, but I've only ever used it on Toshibas and Lenovos.
Targus's web site has a compatibility search tool: [link]

It's a studio 15(hundred and something) - I don't have it with me and cannot recall the model number.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Sumi, most aftermarket power cords will say whether they are compatible with your model. My experience with Dell cords is that they are expensive and likely to break. Aftermarket cords are cheaper and sometimes total duds. I went through over a dozen dell replacement cords in two years. Keep your receipts.

So, I'm wanting to get DW something special for Mother's Day since she's been so friggin' awesome during my pregnancy (and she's the best mom evah!). I was thinking an iPad, but she had mentioned a laptop since we are moving our computers into the bedroom, where they'll be inaccessible when kids go to sleep. She does stuff like upload photos, just bought Lightroom, and does a lot of work in Google Docs for Shane's school. I'd like to keep the cost at $500 or less. Any suggestions?
