It is for me, as well. Haven't used my laptop for anything meaningful except for astrophotography work only of well over a year since the first iPad came out. I use my iPad for just about everything. Freedom from the desk! Of course, I do have a nice rotating orientation stand and the Apple wireless keyboard for any lengthy input. But as a Tavel companion, it can't be beat. Excellent on the plane.

My wife and I are taking a long flight in Feb. I plan on loading my iPad with some current movies and music to help the hours pass. The iPad seems to have a longer battery life than most laptops and on a non stop flight you can't charge the battery.

Also bought noise cancelling ear buds and a small amp to help out when both sets are connected.

Will report back after we do this.

I still may buy a MacBook Pro later.

I used mine on a 10.5 hour light to Mexico, the ipad2 worked fine but I found my ears were very sore from cabin pressure changes, even though I used buds and also Sony clip over psp headset,

I had a 2006 MacBook Pro die on me last year and pretty much replaced it with the iPad 2 haven't missed a beat. For me purpose of carrying a laptop on the road was writing music but the iPad has that covered.

I just returned from a 10 day vacation.

I left my MacBook Pro at home and did not regret it. While I was gone there were a few times I needed help from the office. Mostly I did not.

However I was able to prepare four responses to motions this is a feat somewhat at odds with my usual pronouncement that I need my laptop if heavy lifting is required.
