I'm not looking for a cheap laptop, I have a nice HP laptop, plus my desktop.
I like its size and interface, much like my iphone just larger screen for viewing. I just would like to be able to check my email w/ attachments, to open/view documents/excel spreadsheets and maybe make slight changes with the ipad, rather than lugging my laptop everywhere. From the couch to the lunch room, its just more convenient because of size, and the fact that its always on and has much better battery.
thanks for the info though. May look into tablets I guess.
