The iPad didn't just have a screen, it brought a whole new experience to interacting with a large screen. This was also due to the software behind the screen. Ever try to use a touch screen the size of an iPad before the iPad? It was terrible. It was more than just an object, it was an experience. It's an experience that other tablet manufacturers and software developers are still trying to get right. The iPad was inferior for many computing tasks. It made interacting with the internet and a computer feel totally different. It's hard to quantify that in terms of megahertz and ram.
