Awesome Freudian slip right there. Not dirty, but it'll do.

When you say browsing do you mean reading or internet browsing? I expected to need my laptop once I got the iPad, but since I bought it the laptop hasn't been turned on. I still use my desktop in the basement for photo editing and video editing, but for everything else the iPad remains on my coffee table.

For reading books and the internet I haven't seen a laptop that comes close to it's portability and level of comfort. Like I said, not a device for everybody, but if you're in the market for an ebook reader and a laptop for generic usage I think the iPad deserves a very strong look.

I'm not sure what crack addict is attempting to sell you an iPad, but they're trying to rip you off!
