Dude.
Edit: Never mind. I just googled "iPad laptop killer" and that was the first article that came up, so I see what you did there.

Yea, might not have been the method to find the BEST example article but it was sure the fastest way to find one.
Despite the fact that it's not the ideal article to prove the point, the point still stands. He bills it flat out as a netbook killer. This would lead me to assume it would be able to do everything that a netbook can and then some which I think everyone can agree is not the case.
Also, what's the difference between a netbook's functionality and a low-end laptop's functionality? It has a CD drive. Being able to run slightly more processor intensive software. That's really all I can think of off the top of my head... So if it's a netbook killer and in most cases a low end laptop killer again, it should stand to reason it can do everything a netbook can and some of those features that a laptop has but a netbook doesn't. Again, not the case.
Anyway... stuff like this, of which there are many other examples, is why I had a misconception of what the iPad was capable of. It's not a criticism of you (unless your day job is being a shoddy tech journalist) or anyone on this forum or even Apple so there's no real need to continue an argument on it.
