With the release of the 11 in. MacBook Air, it seems as though (as the most recent article on TiPb states) the iPad will have a lot of competition... WITH ITS OWN RELATIVE! My question is simple, and because I'm not able to find exactly what I'm looking for while researching the issue, I'm coming to you guys for advice!
I'm in the market for (originally) an iPad. I plan on waiting until the "iPad 2" comes out early next year. But with the new contender in the ring, I'm not so sure if the iPad is the best choice. I want everything the iPad offers as a coffee table accessory (I guess you could call it), and I want to put ONLY what few movies I have on the device... no music; I've got my iPhone for my music. I kind of see the new MacBook Air as, essentially, an iPad with a keyboard and more memory. I don't need an all-new laptop, just a device that will store movies, books, and magazines. I didn't even see an iBookstore showcased with the unveil of the MacBook Air, but copying digital movies weighs in at a whopping 1.5 to 2 gigs (for me, anyway) of memory. So with those things considered, can anyone help steer me in the right direction? Thanks for your input!
