Basically the iPad is just a large iPod Touch. It can’t run OSX, it doesn’t support flash files (i think) and it is just pretty much exactly the same as an iPod touch except for certain apps that they are making specifically for the iPad. I would suggest getting a Macbook because they are fantastic and an iPad is not going to do it if you’re looking for a new computer.

Okay, so I’m pro laptop here, and for many good reasons! Laptops for the same price of the Ipad will come with much more hard drive space! Laptops give you much more freedom than the Ipad, for example, an ipad doesn’t have customizable background and such, plus there is no pointer, since there is no mouse. The Ipad does have cool features like a touch screen, and its special gyro, but to me, a laptop still beats the Ipad a lot. I would highly suggest a laptop over an Ipad. For more Ipad features, go to the Mac website.

iPad can do many things that a laptop does but the way it works is different.One person said iPad doesn’t support flash. Who cares? It plays all video without flash why would anybody want flash?It even supports direct streaming from Netflix.
Example: you want to download a video
On computer: visit a website and download the link, you might get virus or spyware with it.
On iPad: You will visit the website through app Downloader or GoodReader and if video contains virus, it won’t download, but if it’s clean, it will download.
You can download any software on computer.
iPad , you can add same functionalities by installing apps from Apple Store. You can’t just visit a website and download software.
But apps are more reliable and productive.
One major thing : you can connect any printer to laptop
iPad: there are many ways to get print out but all printer won’t work.
Computer has CD and DVD player.
iPad doesn’t have but who needs these useless drive now
You can watch movies online using Netflix or other free websites.
And you can get document from the cloud. Cloud tech is future.
People who are talking about not having Mac operating system actually can’t see anything out of box.
Future belong to smaller , snappier and light operating system. And everything will be stored on the cloud.
If you create a doc on iPad you save on device plus iWork.doc,google doc, Box ,Dropbox or many other server so you can instantly access those files from any corner of the world.
iPad doesn’t boot so it’s super fast. If I need to make a shirt presentation, I can make on iPad at least 50 times faster than a PC. And upload to anywhere. By the time I will finishing my work, PC will just finish the booting process.
iPad has opened the door and showed the world a new way of computing which is lighter yet more productive.
iPad has incredible battery life. It easily lasts 15 hours if you are constantly using it for Internet,games,videos and downloads. And if you use moderately ,it goes for two days.
