laptop or ipad

well, I used to try that before (IPAD) it is pretty cool... both using and carrying around. However, there are a lot disadvantages, such as, you need to download stuff from u Mac computer (if u have Mac computer) and it can't play DVD or something that you have to plug and run. I dont see much easy for using IPAD... I think, most ppl love to own one cuz it looks cool and for simple use only. I prefer Laptop is better, and plus now there is a lot of mini laptop that you can carry around just like Ipad, and the price is about the same :)

If I had to pick between a laptop and an iPad, I'd take the laptop. It's cool if you want a new toy, but an iPad can't replace a computer.

in reality i agree with your view such as ipad is not really a computer but just a tablet which it cna be compared to a smartphone as regards functionalities and even power of its hardware!!I found that in the majoirty of cases you can make many passive things on this device but not reallya ctive...so i think these kin dof devices should also create and not only read or view things..so in reality i never cosnidered to buy an ipad or devices like that found them unuseful and too mcuh expensive...on this purpose is better buying aood smartphone and not an ipad!!

Both , i think ipad is a new generation of laptop, touch screen and fast way to be online and work so i really love both styles.
