Yeah, those MacBooks are awesome.

you should have disconnected his cable and walked off
Does anyone else feel this? Because I was planning on buying one, are they rubbish?

1. White Macbooks are so 2006! They are also too feminine or even more suitable for a young person (child or teenager).
2. Why on earth would you need to carry your iPad and your MacBook, especially to a cafe? That's just plain and stupid show-off. That's why I don't ever use my Macs in public places other than libraries, universities and airports.
3. At least you know that he didn't have an iPhone, as he would probably put that on the table too.
He might have had a 27" iMac in his (big) backpack too. lol.
Show off - that's just excessive. I mean - you tether your ipad to your macbook to sync, but for what other reason so --- he was just rubbing it in for those of us who are remaining true to the kool aid and hanging on.

It's Manchester, UK. There is no iPad tethering here. In fact, there is no iPad here at all. The only thing we get is show offs.
I'm a big a fan of Mac's as anybody but wow, does that guy look like a complete tosser.
The whole "not wanting to be that vaccuous coffee shop moron" thing is why I'm holding out for 3G. I have no intention of just leaving my iPad in the house, but at the same time I'd rather not have one than be the token tart lounging around Starbucks with one..
Ugh, gives the rest of us geeks a bad name!

My friend did suggest actually spilling something over the balcony, but i had to tell her that killing an iPad means eternal damnation.

And it would amount to criminal damage, a serious crime. If you hit the guy, that would be even more severe.
Still, I admire the above posts about hoping, calling him a tosser and the like.
I think they are right. What you could have done was talking to him:
"- Excuse me, can you...
- Oh, bugger! (He dropped them)"
Macrumors is not 'iPad-friendly'. The ads are in Flash, I think.
But if he's reading it:
PUT THAT THING AWAY AND STOP SHOWING OFF!
Thats me !!!!!!!!!! I go to Manchester Uni, and im not a Tosser, I was putting office docs onto my ipad from iTunes, how rude. Also I had my macbook, as I was doing my exam prep on it.

Macbook + iPad on seat = **** i need to check this website out properly as ive got big white gaps on some of the pages
LOL - now that would be funny. Would he dare admit it, after the flack we've laid on him ? We're just jealous, granted, but still - both macbook and ipad in public place ? - just not cool.
actually no....someone in the UK who already has an iPad surely has got many better things to do than read this thread....lol
simply dont believe the guy above that its him....because you will deserve to have your iPad taken of you for winding us up
Thats me !!!!!!!!!!
Prove it! Go back to that Cafe and take a pic with your iSight camera, where the iPad and the chair or the glass is visible.
You do that and I'll apologise for anything that ANYBODY said.
lol, i don't have to prove it, i could take a pic of my macbook and ipad at home though, but then again i dont have a flash on my 32gb iPhone 3GS so it wouldnt look that good, shame

Well, you made me very jealous. Was your iPad from Ebay?
EDIT: If you want, i'll take the photo down?
Yeah its from ebay, only the 16gb model, but works great for me and the fact ive got a 3 mifi device, only costing a tenner a month, its great.
