Im thinking about buying one also and making the leap from Windows to Mac. The kicker for me has been Vista. Im truly fed up! My kids have been Mac for a few years and love it! My concerns are this, I beta-test video games and Im not sure they would be compatable. Also I use Skype constantly and the thought of a sleek puter like I-pad haveing to use clunky external cam/mic just strikes me as Meh!  The iPad isn't a full computer, it's more like a giant iPod. Almost all Mac products (iphone, imac, ipad, macbooks) have built in cams and mics for skyping. The I-Pad doesnt have built in cam/mic. My biggest concern is game compatibility. I can keep this laptop to use for Skype if need be. Well you can't game on an iPad, it's not an actual computer. and I'm shocked it doesn't have a cam when they put one in EVERYTHING else lol. alas, you CAN game on it... many, many games released for iPad... although you CANNOT load PC games on it (it's not a PC) or MAC games (it's NOT a MAC)... aspahlt 5 HD, scrabble, F1 2010... Angry Birds!!! LOL, Doodlebug!... $.02

built in MIC = yes, built in speaker = yes, built in camera = no :(... http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ $.02 How odd that it has a mic yet no cam  I agree, in my opinion, it was a major blunder not to include a camera.... yet another reason for me to wait for the next version to release LOL! $.02

Im flying to Can. on Fri. Im returning to Mex. in Oct. soooo if I dont buy one now, it will have to wait until I return to Can. I dont think I can live with Vista for another year....sigh...its a dilemma.

Venus - Can ya afford the full laptop in Apple???
Then ya could load in the Windows purchase option and play all the games as well... THAT is exactly what I'd do, had I the spare dosh! Also, I paid $100 for an endless, unlimited Apple in store and online tutorial for a year - when I bought my iMac ... Ya can activate it anytime later, no expiration date ... GREAT win for those converting from pcs and/or not too technically swooft ... *Kate raises hands on both counts* I'm getting to know my questions first ... Then I'll activate it ... Aries ... Have heard that argument ... But my experience w/ Apples AT PRESENT ... Puts Windows to shame ... ESP for those of us who don't know how to swim tech upstream ... For now ... There really is virtually zero attack against Macs ... Tomorrow is not here ... I'm surfin' this wave NOW! If the world converts to Mac en masse ... Well ... Cross that bridge THEN ... Thanx, though, I do appreciate those thoughts/reminders for others ... |

I guess Im spoiled. Right now my L/T is 17' high def wide screen. The smallest Macbook is almost $3,000. Thats why I liked the I-pad so much its all screen. I cant wait to get to Canada and jump into all the big box stores I love catching up on techie stuff when Im there.( Im such a geek) Im just po'ed about having to invest in another L/T when this one is only about a yr. old! But I truly hate Vista and want to get away from it.

13" widescreen, minimum specs with a student discount (I'm taking classes toward an MBA)....
standard price was $899, $100 off for a student... it's the pro's that are expensive, 17" pro with good specs is closer to 3k... $.02 |
