I suggest you ask this in the Computer Help forum.
Would cnet or someone compare iPad 2 vs. lightweight notebook PC?
Of course, my PC does not have 3G and WiFi works only with availability of hot spots.
BUT what else??
What frequent-use programs can iPad accomodate or NOT accomodate?
One example or question: Can the iPad accommodate 'MAC version of MS Office' programs---Can I make powerpoint slides?
What can the 'iPad 2' NOT do that I can do on a PC.
