$399 laptops rarely last more than a year and are rarely robust enough for any type of work. I could make practically all the same criticisms about a $399 laptop as an iPad.
That being said, I don't know who would replace an laptop with an iPad in any sort of robust, non-mobile workflow, so I'm inclined to call BS on your statement.
- rythie 12y agoTraditionally laptops have had far too many moving parts to be durable: - 1 or 2 fans - Keyboard - display hinge - Hard disk - CD Drive - often various flaps or expansion area Whilst laptops are improving in this area, iPad have not had any of those from the beginning - it clearly makes for much more durable device. Additonally almost all laptops are high maintenance software wise with the possible exception of chromebooks.
