My parents have a kitchen and living room laptop which is used to surf the web and (not so often) write emails (using Gmail) nearly all of the time. An iPad would be a perfect replacement but the big problem is Office. My parents very rarely would also like to write something or open some document and they will get annoyed pretty quickly if that doesn’t work without a hitch. They need a laptop with Microsoft Office installed, an iPad (through no fault of its own) just doesn’t provide that kind of fidelity. I bet they would have loved to use an iPad in the living room and in the kitchen before they had a laptop but it just doesn’t cut it anymore. They are used to their laptop. (This equally applies to other “alternative” devices. A Chrome laptop would be so close to perfect for my parents. Google Chrome already is the one program they use all the time on their laptop. But Google Docs just isn’t good enough.)
