15 reasons why iPad is better than a netbook

[lilo777]

and with a release price of £1900!! Totally worth it...

My netbook:
DVDs/BluRay - Never use either
Running real software - I just really run Evernote, Safari, Mail and iChat on here

I've tried running more, but it's pretty slow, but with click2flash, it's slightly improved. Still moving to an iPad though.

The price is better here is US But this one is an extreme case (both price and performance)

GPS on a full sized notebook with terrible battery life? I carry my small compact iPad around with me on photoshoots. I surely cannot do that with a full sized laptop!!!

If you wish to stick with yesterdays technology that's fine. I just heard the floppy disk was finally retired. JUst don't try to compare apples and oranges. Your netbook will never compare with an iPad.

The list is too long: playing DVDs (or BluRay), printing, reading/writing data to many peripheral devices (Flash memory, HDD etc.), running real software (like Adobe Acrobat) and so on. 3G is a limiting factor only in some cases. Many tasks do not require it. We could use GPS with notebooks/netbooks for a long time. Now some models have a built-in GPS, for example this Sony Vaio X.

I bought my wife a netbook she wanted badly in October.......she's used it four times since then . She's used my iPad more than that. Both were purchased to supplement our iMac, but the iPad shines with it's instant on ability.
