#Netbook vs the #iPad – which is more productive?


Up to a month ago I was heavily using my netbook in my lounge as my go to PC, it was small, lightweight and great to have sitting on the arm of my recliner. I could access my personally email, my corporate email, surf the web, and do much more.

I have now had my iPad for over a month, and I did wonder prior to getting the iPad how much I would use my netbook. In this past month i have been a little shocked at how little its been used, I have not used or switched it once! My iPad has now become the go to device for all of the above, as well as surfing, blogging, tweeting and posting to Facebook.

Apple did say that the iPad really wont replace your computer and will be more of a lounge device, but to be honest, if you have a separate laptop for lounge use then the iPad will and does replace your laptop.

Looking at the Acer Aspire Windows Netbook sitting here in the lounge, I feel kind of guilty that I haven’t powered it up once, but the iPad is doing everything the net book previously was doing but so much more. I haven’t even switched on my PS3 or my PSP to play any games, the iPad has taken over that realm too.

Do you have an iPad, if so how much have you found it’s changing you’re life?
