It's been two weeks since I started my great iPad vs Netbook debate. The winner? Well, the iPad came in with a slight lead.Reason being was the battery life & the power. It also helped that my husband assisted me with the purchase of the case and keyboard. I have to laugh at myself because I just thought the iPad was an oversized iPhone. While it is, it won't replace my iPhone or my Desktop for that matter. In fact, it's a good go between. I do like the fact that it's very lightweight. So much more than my laptop which leads me to my next point.
I sold my four year old laptop and am using the netbook in its place. I would only use the laptop to surf the net. All of my major projects such as photoshop & final cut have always been done on my desktop; that's just my preference. Why'd I keep the netbook? It has a longer battery life & is lighter than the laptop. Why didn't I just keep the Pad? Because the netbook is a windows device & as much as I love apple, some writing projects I do require applications such as word. I find that I use my iPad when I'm watching tv and I use the netbook more for "in the background" things if that made sense.
If my husband hadn't helped me & if I wasn't able to sell my laptop (for what I bought the netbook for) this would have been a harder decision. So Apple, you win the war yet again.
