I think the author has an excellent point until he gets to "I feel like tablets are a short-lived fad." Fine, but are you going to spend $500+ for the new iPad

I think the author has an excellent point until he gets to "I feel like tablets are a short-lived fad." Fine, but are you going to spend $500+ for the new iPad now that you know its limitations first hand? That's what he may have meant. Personally I'd buy a cheap one to browse while in the backyard or couch but the price matters. What I love is a hybrid, or a light laptop (you don't even have to hold it) The PC is not going anywhere for most people
