I am not even close to being a "fanboy" . As of right now sitting on 18 windows machines. Mix of desktops, laptops, and a notebook. And 1 Ipad. No Iphone. I dont see buying a case to be a fault or limitation. I bought one for my notebook.
Notebook: Screen was poor. Scrolling and cursor positioning a pain. Windows lite operating system is just plain awful. Like a kiddie system. Keypad was really bad and keys too small. Can't zoom in/out on data within apps. Overall a lousy experience. Tried to like it for about a month and haven't used it since.
Ipad. On-screen keyboard worked-I just wanted more functionality and ease of use. Touch screen functionality. Scrolling and cursor positioning beyond simple-just use your finger to control. Operating system is functional and responsive- a far cry from the notebook. A zillion apps that make using it enjoyable. Incredible screen resolution. Great speakers. Great video experience. It's actually fun to use in addition to working beautifully. I've had it for about 35 days and take it with me wherever I go.
No fanboy-just a really happy owner. I've used both and as I said, there is no comparison at all.

The notebook is not perfect - it has some faults and limitations.
The iPad is not perfect - it has some faults and limitations (enough that you had to purchase a case and keyboard and carry them with you).
What are the faults you found with the notebook, and how do they compare with the faults you found with the iPad? Did you purchase additional equipment for the notebook to try to work around its faults, like you did for the iPad?
