Ipad Vs. Macbook pro/air

Hi guys,

I have an important decision to make and I need as much evidence to support my decision as I can gather. I'm a teenager moving across the country and away from home to begin living on my own in LA, with the exception of a roomate. I won't be able to bring my desktop as their isn't enough room in the apartment. Also I'm going to need to be as mobile as possible. So I pose you the question: Ipad or Macbook pro/air?

I've done research on each's pro's and cons; I've found that the Ipad 3 is truly a great substitute to laptops but their are some things that keep it from being a logic main computer. Mainly what I've found is it can't multitask very fluidly and the hard drive is somewhat limited.

What are your thoughts?

Get a PC laptop

Why would anyone consider a table over a laptop? That's stupid. Just get a Windows laptop and you'll be set and won't have spent a lot of money. For the price of an iPad you can get a pretty good laptop. Out of your two options though, get the mackbook, even though Mac PCs are a huge ripoff, it's not my money you're wasting. :P

anything but mac.

Tablets are like an oversized phone. They are useless and just for hipsters.

Macs are overpriced garbage. Also for hipsters.

I have an asus transformer, well its great, a tablet is not a pc replacement for me right now, just not fast enough.

I reccomend getting an ultra book

Or hell you seem to be spending a lot of money get a tablet and some laptop

If you're willing to spend for a MacBook Pro, why not buy an iPad and a low-cost Windows laptop? You could get both at a lower price than a MacBook Pro.

I need a car to drive on the freeway, should I get an ATV or golfcart?

As long as there is an apple logo than Im good.

Like everyone else said Apple is full of crap with hardware specs that are already outclassed and outdated right out of the store. I know some people here likes sager and I agree those the go to laptops for price:perf, but is up to you. I mean if you are self conscious about your gadget and view them as a fashion statement than by all means do it.

Apple is known for software relyable, high quality products and long battary life. That's what's important, not whether or not I can play games. But thanks to thsoe who answered. I'm going to get the macbook air and look fly doing it. Biznitches gunna b all ova ma d1ck.

We send in about 2 macbooks a month for various problems, the most common being an unusable battery.

We also send a handful of imacs per for a lot of disk issues.

For our dell desktop and laptops I have only had to replace 1 of each this last year.

We have about 2000 pcs and 500 macs
