My first reaction of the iPad was that this was the dumbest thing Apple had created. After furthering my knowledge about it, I came to realize that it could be a very beneficial tool. It’s like having a computer with the bulkyness and the advantages of touch-screen. I used to own a Mac Book Pro before it broke, and I am in the market of replacing it. The iPad gives me a less inexpensive alternantive in replacing my Mac. With a couple added/bought features, still well under the Mac Book Pro $2500 range, I could have my own personal touch screen computer. The price is definitely the best asset of this new gadget. I am going to highly consider buying the iPad before I spend a load of cash on another Mac Book Pro.
