9. DISADVANTAGES It is very portable, if you compare it to an iPhone or iPod. Do not bring a base to support the writing and must be put on a flat surface. The dock or base sold separately, as well as a keyboard, unless you want to use digital. It is not as powerful a computer (RAM, processor, video card) as a Macbook Pro. No webcam. No Camera for photos or videos. You cannot play Flash. No USB port for connecting flash drives, pen drives. Not Multitask (Multitasking, several programs running at the same time). Need to buy extra connectors to connect a keyboard, a camera or an SD card.

10. CONCLUSIONS If you want a laptop for work, better save for a MacBook Pro which is much better (or a laptop of your choice). IPAD is just one more gadget, its needs to be connected to "a computer" as an iPhone. An IPAD not be the main computer instead of your home could be a MacBook Pro with no problems. If you want a reader of digital books, e-books, do not waste your money on a kindle or models of other brands, the IPAD is the best device for this. If you want a Netbook, a small laptop with fewer features, better if you buy something really cool like the IPAD.
