The iPad just works. It does everything I need without any need to waste time learning things. That's the value for me. I have no desire to 'learn' anything at all. With an iPad, I don't have to. If it takes half an hour to set up a device, then I'm not buying it.

Tell me op, how much do you value your time at? And what do you want the. Device to do? That's the two questions to ask yourself and no-one else.
