I'm in roughly the same boat. The only person here who likes it is my 3 year old daughter - the rest of us just find it painful to use. Safari is so cumbersome and slow, it's just tedious compared to a real browser. Email seems to get overwhelming quickly (maybe I have too much of it). Any time you have to type things it's exasperating. Things it is good for: games, watching videos solo (as long as you have somewhere to prop it up - holding it is a pain). The instant-on is handy for extremely brief uses. Showing photos is great (except it ruins the quality of them with stupid downsampling and having to sync them with iTunes is unbearably annoying). Everything else - get the laptop.
