> Why not just use a MacBook Air or something? It's basically the same price. Not the person you posed the question to, but my reasoning is mostly that my MacBook Air is docked with my desktop peripherals when I'm home, and it's cumbersome to undock/redock it all the time, so I use my iPad if I'm not at my desk. If I need to do something that I can't do on my iPad, then I walk to my desk where I have a proper mouse/keyboard/monitor. I only undock my MacBook every few months when I'm travelling and need a real computer on the go.
