Laptop for work, iPad for leisure. So it has to be iPad.

Well said, laptop is truly for work purpose.

I've iPad 2 and MacBook Pro. MacBook is for home use, while iPad is for on the go both are as good

Honestly I haven't picked up my laptop since I got my iPad 2.

If I had the choice of only one, it would be my MBP or a MBA for the simple reason that I need a full computer. However, I look at the iPad as an extension of my other computers. Think of how many motorhomes will have a car in tow. You do not want to try to live in a small car, but a motorhome is not practical to go to the store or drive thru in. Some people have a house (desktop), and some have all three variants.

getting rid of my air to just use the ipad2.
any drawbacks you guys think?

As long as you have access to a computer, it is an individual thing to prefer an iPad or a laptop. The iPad will not work exclusively of a computer, but in so many ways, it gives new freedom from the computer. Right now the only issue with the iPad, is the inability to get a 10" sceen in a form smaller than an iPhone.

I love to use all three devices which tends to get a laugh but work quite well. iPhone running "Recorder Pro", Laptop to type notes, iPad to draw any neccessary diagrams or pull up .pdf of the textbook.

As much as I love my iPad, as a writer I find a pencil and paper the best thing for taking notes.

Here we go again, from someone who does not get the concept of a tablet to another who prefers pencil and paper. I would guess the next topic might be " I have fallen with my typewriter and can't get up"
People please , tablets are not laptops , quit adding key boards, speakers and monitors to them . As far as pencil and paper theory , well we must all change.

Got an idea so i write a blog post about after reading user discussion.

Comments are welcome.
