Well, from the sound of it, this would be the iPad to get if you don't already have one. However, I'll wait for someone to come along and make a better tablet for a cheaper price if I ever decide I need a tablet.

I'm considering a 64GB wifi model right now, but will probably wait until Q3 or Q4.

But it's an Apple product. You're supposed to not give a shi t and automatically buy it anyway.

Why would I do that? It's still in near perfect condition (though I can't say the same for the smart cover) At best I could hope to get $400 for it, leaving me holding the bag for the last 200 for such a minimal upgrade. 'U know u don't have to run out and buy every new apple product, right? :|'

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Nope. Overpriced Apple products hold no appeal.lonewolf604
Considering a lot of android tablets are around the same price I wouldn't say the iPad is overpriced. In some ways its better than android tablets.

Does this mean, instead, that it is all tablets which are overpriced? iPad 3 is still very expensive for what it is.

My PC does everything iPad and I already own it.

It's just a dumb fad for hipsters and people with more money than brains.

No. I have no interest in tablets. I think they're stupid, pointless and way too expensive. If I want a computer I sure wouldn't install iOS or Android on it.

Already preordered one.

It will be my first tablet. I've wanted one for quite some time but I knew that the 3rd gen iPad was coming out so I figured I would just wait. Glad I did.

It's going to replace my aging laptop that I only use for e-mail and web browsing. Tablets are a great replacement for that kind of stuff.

First-gen iPad is still going strong for me. Probably wait another year, and get an iMac this year after Ivy Bridge drops. Hopefully that means retina display 27" iMac screens.

I don't know what to think about these kind of things. I can only marvel at the people who have the resources and motivation to acquire all the latest technological gadgets as they come out, even though the upgrades are extraordinarily minimal compared to the older version. I don't think most people do this, but the ones that do, I'm not sure about.

It's not ougrageously expensive if you look at the fact that you're getting a drool-worthy 27" LED display attached to a powerful computer. For the work I do at home with music production, photography, and video, it's a God-sent. Hasn't the price thing kind of passed it's point of relevance?

Well, I guess if you're doing that kind of work, a Mac is pretty good.

You said it though. But, how many people buy a $1500-$2000 Mac for work? Not everyone, hence why lots of people come with the price argument.The way I see it if you need it buy it if you don't get a $500 laptop and get on with your life.

Depends on your needs, financial means, and motivations. The real reason the price argument doens't matter, is because Apple sells just about every peice of hardware they create. Shelves do not sit full of Apple things, they are emptied. People are buying products at the prices Apple is setting. That's just simple economics.

...Diablo 3 runs on Macs, just like Diablo 1 and 2 before it. As well as Starcraft 1 and 2, and every other Blizzard game. Blizzard releases all their titles simultaneously for both major platforms. The same is true of Valve. Most of EA's big-selling releases are also available on Apple's machines.

Blizzard games support OSX. They always have. That contributes to their great success in the PC industry. They support all of the platforms they can.

I have never bought an Apple product, each year I just keep telling myself "I'll get the next one that comes out after this new one" and then it never happens.

A combination and overall sum of 10 points in my newely produced 'The Purchase or Not iPad Checklist' will need to happen for me to absoloutely get one.

1. = 3 Points At this point I'm definitely waiting until they release a next gen version of their current A5X chips because I will feel so behind if I bought this one and next years model has an A6.

2. = 10 points It will probably need buttons (suitable for gaming), this here is the killer app and if they get this on it or a peripheral I will go and purchase one as quick as I can.

3. = 2 point 3D, I know people hate on the tech but it is still seemingly like a thing which will just become a natural feature in all our displays so I might as well future proof it.

4. = 2 point Siri, I guess that it's still not exactly in this version.

5. = 3 points. Open source in any respect, at least 30% more open than it is right now .... which for where it is, is currently 0%.

6. = 4 points Blu-Ray drive. This is almost ludicrous because it will probably make this thing huge (with the current tech) and it currently doesn't even appear in their computer lines but I'm a avid film lover and love watching them in high quality, this would be huge for me.

7. = 2 points. Make it a phone. Using my earphone and it's mic it could essentially be a phone like the iPhone which would be terrific, and I wouldn't need to buy an iPhone and I would have a great tablet that is also a phone instead.

8. = 1 points. Get rid of iTunes or drastically overhaal it to make it as simple and as compatible as windows to windows.

9. = 1 points. If it were essentially a portable television where I could play my Xbox 360 by simply connecting my HDMI to it.

10. = 2 points. Stupid things like Flash not being there, being forced to use their apps like Safari and it working so odd on pages in certain circumstances where windows laptops would deal with them fine.

11. = 3 points. Not being as efficient as laptops or computers with stuff like having to open and then close apps just to access the other one. Fix that and it would be a huge plus.

I just ordered one. I don't currently own a tablet and had been planning on getting one.

The main reason I went with an iPad over an Android tablet is that iOS is where most app development is focused at the moment. I also prefer the iPad screen's aspect ratio.

You're quadrupoleing the resolution, and upgrading the CPU and GPU to handle the quadrupole resolution for a measily $200 upgrade :|
