Ok, please don't be biased. I know once we have bought a fancy new product it's only natural to brag and promote it but in all seriousness give me your unbiased opinion! I'm a student studying graphic design... something portable would be great for me, but should I just get a laptop?

Thoughts please? (I know a laptop would probably be cheaper too)

I'm using my iPad right now. I think that it's worth the money. I probably couldn't live without it as of right now. You'll see how much you need one when you have it.

My iPad is basically used to entertain nieces, nephews, and theirs friends. It's a toy! You'll want something with a true stylus, pressure sensitivity, wacom technology, etc. You'll want to run more powerful graphics software.

I recommend getting an Axiotron : Modbook®. It's what the iPad should've been.

Too expensive for me, as well. I ended up buying an HP Touchscreen Tablet PC with built-in wacom technology. Did you know that Woz is on the board of directors with this company? Axiotron; not HP

I was on the fence about buying an iPad for months. I didn't see the need one would fill for me and couldn't justify the price to myself.

Fast forward several months and, now, my entire family has iPads -- my 60-year-old mother and father, my younger brother, my husband and myself. We all use them slightly differently but we're all getting a lot of enjoyment and use out of them.

I finally bought mine after seeing what iOS was bringing (later this year for the iPad) and discovering some of the iPad specific apps available. I realized I could stop lugging my laptop around at least half the time if I had an iPad. That, and my 3-year-old daughter can watch videos on it, play simple games or simply use it as a digital sketch pad. Note: She's very good with technology and is supervised; I'm not saying the iPad is an ideal children's tool/toy, although with the right case and kidlet it's a match made in heaven.

I had one but traded it for a laptop. I would reccommend getting it if you don't plan on using it as your main machine.
