Is it still worth buying an Apple laptop if you have an ipad2? I am thinking about this but do not want to waste my hard earned money if I do not have to!

My wife has both. But uses them for different reasons. She is a teacher and uses the iPad at school because it is easier to lug around than her MacBook Pro. There is utility to having both but it depends on your needs.

I have both, I use both but I spend most of my time on my iPad.......I wouldn't give up either......not yet anyway.

Well have an Acer laptop running windows 7 but trying to find an excuse to spend £1000 on a Mac.

The iPad isn't a laptop replacement. Think of it as a big iPod. The apps are limited. (You can't run Apple programs like Photoshop or Word).. There is no mouse.. There is no support for Flash.. It has limited connectivity. You need an adapter to connect a USB plug and many USB devices simply won't work when connected to an iPod. There is no printer port.. Laptop internal storage is typically greater than 128 Gigs.. (Around 500 Gig on the middle Macbook Pro).. Etc. etc..

But despite all that.. It is a GREAT device

why so many ports thats the beauty of the ipad!!! and yes since my ipad I use less and less my MBP!!

Good point made by Destroyer......I have added a poll to this thread.

And I voted for both, hard not to as I bought my MBA after I bought my iPad. I really wouldn't want to be without either as they both have their individual uses.

I'm not going to buy another laptop after this one dies because I want more internal storage, but I am getting an iMac, so I voted iPad + Mac.
