And, good riddance, I say. I now own an iPad and I see how the laptop is now in the same class as a desktop. It's now a work machine. I can watch TV, check email, surf the web, look up information, chat, listen to music, play games, etc. on a comfortable screen, without a keyboard, and using a form factor that is like a magazine. In fact, I neither need nor want a laptop anymore since I prefer using my iMac and PC for development. Most people use a laptop not as a computer but as an information access device. The iPad bests the laptop for this.
