<p>I have the iPad 2. I love it, but it can’t replace my laptop (yet). I still need to use my laptop for writing papers/videos/any resource intensive program. </p>
<p>However, the ipad excels when it comes to just casual web browsing/internet/watching videos/email/viewing documents/light document editing. I love just being able to lounge around anywhere with my ipad because its so light and more portable than my macbook pro. Plus the battery life is unbeatable.
If I wanted, i could use the stylus i bought for it on a variety of great notetaking apps, but right now i just prefer pencil and paper. </p>
<p>I’d imagine other tablets provide similar functionality but i don’t know about them specifically.</p>
