That said, it depends on what it is you want to do, and what you needs are.

If you are looking for a device to primarily surf the web, remain email connected, and be connected everywhere you go, in a simple, elegant package - the iPad's for you.

Add to that, that Apple will be providing software updates that will add significant added features and capabilities to your iPad over the next 2-3 years, and you have device that allows you to retain your investment, by not being outdated by new software or hardware releases. So far, Apple has kept updating the original iPhone from 2007, until now. Software version 4.0 to be released on Monday will be the first update that will no longer support the 1st generation iPhone (yet software 3.x will keep working just fine). This may be important to you, or it may not.

If you need large hard drive storage, a webcam, etc, then iPad is not for you, and a laptop might be the better choice.

Up to you, as the saying goes, based on what you need.
Hi DDuck, thanks for your comment. I guess you are right about the new releases of product annually, always gonna happen

I have a huge collection of porn on my current harddrive and I don't want to loose that so I guess a laptop is better for me. Now I don't know whether Apple or M$ operating system! Its never easy today with technology
