Like I said in another thread, I played with an iPad for 30 minutes today and was simply not impressed. It’s a toy. A nice toy, but still a toy.

I’ll keep saving for the Airbook.

Personally I don’t think there is that much of a market for tablet computers. Perhaps if the capability to replace a laptop is there but they are simply too limited for widespread acceptance. IMO

The iPad is pretty amazing, maybe a toy but its a pretty useful one.

It will be interesting to see the comments when google releases their ipad copy tablet.

"MacBook Air". Have one. The solid state air is the future of mobile computing. Just watch out for high winds when outside. :-(

At the University I’m employed by, there are several Airbook’s, and frankly, I’m underwhelmed about those as well. Underpowered CPU doesn’t help.

Although, to be fair, I’m not a fan of Apple OS.
