And how is this the only review I will ever need? Someone who clearly wants a laptop and not an ipad? For me it hasn't replaced my laptop - I moved to an 11" air for that. The ipad replaces all the other stuff that filled my office and my bags when traveling: a great big stack of books for pleasure, work and reference. It freed me from my desk for all that 'catch up' reading to keep on top of the things I need to know about. It provides some good casual games (I barely have time to become good at anything so "toys" are more what I am after). Its got some cool stuff to play with with my children. It has some great synths (most of my actual synths are now in storage pending sale). I do some work on it - writing presentations , ssh etc. It turns out that watching videos in bed in hotel rooms is use case i would never have imagined. it's great for showing other people my pictures and videos. It's a constantly present reference source: wikipedia and IMDb and a dictionary etc etc etc, It's not a laptop it's an other thing.
