iPad 2 must go!

[Spag_187]

Well, I'm sad to announce that my beautiful iPad 2 must go bye bye now. I was really hoping to replace the need of a secondary laptop with it, but sadly, there are to many cons to not having the optical drive, speed and performance of a traditional laptop. I have had several tempting offers to trade for some nice MacBooks out there, but it's hard to say goodbye! Too bad I couldn't afford to just keep all these wonderful toys at my disposal Haha...

Did you not read the iPad specs over the last year? At least you might make some extra $$ if you sell it fast enough.

Oh, I read the specs, just thought I'd be able to live with it. Turns out, not so much...

iPad never meant to replace the laptop/desktop !! As the previous poster said you had more than twelve months to educate yourself before buying. I am awaiting my iPad 2 and I will keep my iPad 1 as well for my work. Good luck

Sell in on craigslist!! Makes some extra!

I'm sure you could sell it on eBay for either a profit or at least ur money back since basically nobody has it and is on a 3-4 week backorder on apple

You folks need to read the OG post before you go on a rampage..."you had a whole year, you should have read, blah, blah!" I knew exactly what the iPad was about, I've just come to realize now that as great as a machine it is, I prefer the full functionality of a MacBook or MacBook air! You bunch of dorks!

Maybe you should not post on an iPad lovers forum about not liking your iPad. We all like ours. So just cus you had an issue with yours you don't have to make a post about it.

Listen he never said he didn't like it in fact he said he thought it was a great device he just liked MacBook more. Which is still an apple product so really i think you are the one throwing the hissy fit.

I was lucky. I love my iPad 2. I was able to replace my laptop for at least 95% of my usage. If it had a USB port, I'd only need my laptop for video editing.
