Buy an iPad 2 now or save up for longer and get a Mac Book Pro

Currently, I have an AcerTravelMate 5320, not that great for traveling as is is quite heavy and the battery lasts 20 minutes if lucky. I bought an Acer Aspire One D250 Netbook, it is ok but not very practical to use on the fly. My laptop does what I want it too for now, I would like a Mac Book Pro 15" but I also want an iPad because I want to be able to use something easilly out and about. Should I get an iPad 2 now (because I have the money) or keep saving for another year or so (maybe longer) and get the Mac Book Pro 15". By the way, the reason it takes me so long to save is bcause I am 15, I get no pocket money, and I do odd jobs to get money, e.g. fixing peoples computers.

IT depends whether you want it quick or good, if you want good, get a MacBook Pro.

If you want light, portable and cheap go for the iPad but note that iPad does not have flash support so that means you cant play flash games on the go.

Well, I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen 32GB but I would like a bigger screen sometimes when I am out and about.

It actually depends on what you think, if you like easy to use, get an iPad, if not get a MacBook Pro

You pay for what you get =D

1	As you are talking of portability and battery life better go for ipad 2. as you already have a PC, i suggest IPAD 2 for u.. it's your choice.. answered Mar 26 '11 at 08:46 eversmilinggoutham 56●5●6●12

Well, the product comparison part has been asked before (http://lockergnome.net/questions/123277/which-to-get)

Of course It's what would be more useful to you. A MacBook is far more useful. When I was a little younger I saved up for about a year and a half to afford a MacBook. Never regretted it.

I just got the new 2011 MacBook Pro, It had a little speed problems but neither did I regret.
