Okay, no I'm not trying to sell my iPad here on the forum's. I'm just looking for a little advice. Back when the iPad first came out, I waited untill the day after release weekend to try and score one and they had a 64gb left. The one I wanted. So I bought it.

Now, I've recently bought a replacement battery for my PowerBook G4. So now I really don't need my iPad for anything.

I mean, I really like it, iWork is great on it, as is just picking it up to read the newest Mac Rumors news or play a game of Dinosaur Hunter waiting in the car mechanic lobby.

Problem is, since I got my battery replaced in my PowerBook. I find I hardly touch the iPad. Part of it is also fingerprints, it looks so lovely on my desk without them, but I hate the idea of having to clean it after I use it.

I'm worried if I sell it I'll end up regretting it. It only got some use when I was tethered to a wall with the PowerBook, now it gets even less.

I'm worried if I sell my PowerBook, which is in fantastic condition with the box. I'll regret it too though. Both hardly get a ton of use now though. Maybe a half hour to an hour a week between the two.

So what should I do MacRumors?

Edit: Also, I've considered selling both for a used MacBook Air. However, if I sell the iPad, I'd get a 32gb 3GS right off the bat too. I had a 3G, but i hated it compared to how my friends, parents, and all sorts of other random people's 3GS's work. I think mine had a screen defect.
