Marco.org: The iPad doesn’t need to do everything

Rationalizing the purchase of an iPad usually includes a few of these:

  • I’ll carry it around most of the time.
  • I’ll be able to replace my laptop with it.
  • I’ll be able to replace my Kindle with it.
  • I’ll bring it on trips instead of my laptop.
  • I’ll respond to email with it.
  • I’ll get work done…

Personally, I think it’s a great device to have sitting around your office, or on your coffee table at home. I think it’s more of a pleasure thing, rather than a get stuff done thing. For only $500, it’s cool, and definitely won’t make your life harder.
