@RussBroom :Russ, when you use an remote desktop program like logmein the iPad gives you at least 90% if not more of the functionality of a macbook. Sure, you need a home base computer to log into and you need one for the iPad. But most of us already have that. I take my iPad to work every day and use it a good deal of the time. I never bring my work issued notebook home any more. If I need to do something I remote log on with the iPad (conversely, when I want to do something on my iMac at home, I log on using the iPad from work or wherever. If I'm traveling, I also dont bother bringing my notebook. I bring the iPad and the wireless keyboard. Its not perfect, but it beats lugging a 6 + pound computer and case around (including the charger).
