I guess that depends on your view, I mean, laptops are nice but so are iPads; The thing is, which one is better? I guess there's only one way to find out........ FIIIIIIIGHT! |

A laptop is a computer, an iPad is a marketing ploy to separate fashionistas with more money than sense from the former. Or put another way, it's a bit like a smartphone. But you can't make/receive calls on it. And it's too bulky to put in your pocket. So it's like a rubbish smartphone, or a rubbish laptop.
But you do get free admittance to the Cult of Jobs and other sophisticates in polonecks will admire you in coffee shops as they too struggle to do anything useful on the thing

Sooner or later the chick in the ad is going to drop her iPad whilst whizzing around on that Vespa. Pointless piece of cack. Unlike everything else that is currently Apple, Mr D.  |

An iPad looks like it would make a better Frisbee than a laptop. Something to consider should you be caught Frisbee-less during the summer.

my bro in law has one and has said is just a big ipod touch. It has no cdrom so if you want to add cd's to itunes you need a laptop to sync it.

You'd have to be a fool to choose an Ipad over a Windows laptop.

Agree with everyone else an iPad seems the most pointless thing ever. It's sub-niching BMW style (create a car to fill a need no one has). It's just a big iPhone, but without flash (no youtube etc), without the ability to phone and without the ability to use a mobile network.
Like PaulD says, it's marketing, very, very good marketing in my opinion, but nothing more.

Unlike everything else that is currently Apple, Mr D. I hope you've posted that from an achingly trendy coffee shop on an iDevice of some form. Bit warm for polo necks though isn't it? |

It depends what you want to do. No doubt 'touch browsing' is great but it's probably the best feature of the iPad.
I read a review which said it was good, but it doesn't excel in one single task.
You can get a netbook for half the price which can do more.

It'd be rude not to in this fly by the seat of your pants techno-driven world we now live in. Soon as I find somewhere to plug it in anyway.
