im kind of on the other side of things here. im kinda ditching my ipad for the mbp i just bought. ipads are great, and wonderful, but just not right for everyone. dont get me wrong i love my ipad, for games, movies, and small browsing, but until it can do everything a computer can do, it wont be as valuable to me.
another thing that makes me chose this, though, is im about to get my CDL (commercial drivers license), and get a job as a truck driver. doing this career, im gonna be out on the road, for extended periods of time, at least for the first year or 2. and i decided, for that it would be better to have a laptop, in case something with my phone goes wrong, or if say i actually have to use a website that uses flash. if i wasnt gonna be gone so much, i probably wouldnt of bought the mbp, and would of stuck with the ipad. for the price that it is, the battery life alone for watching movies and tv shows on it is worth it alone. the battery on the ipad (first gen obviously) is amazing. but like i said, it just isnt a laptop replacement for all, unless you arent going to be away from a computer for an extended period of time. if you have a normal job, where your home everyday, and you have a desktop computer, then its great and can replace a laptop in a heartbeat.
