All the beneft for a 1/3 of the cost. I'd call that an intelligent win.

....Lacking any cool factor though.
The iPad might not be one of Apple's finest products (I don't actually know much about it) but if you are hanging out in business with the creatives and fashion world, labels and cool gadgets are rightly or wrongly seen as reflections of where you're at and cool is a winner.
I have much more trust in Apple products anyway. 8)

In the world of geek and IT, it would be given far more kudos than pulling out the highest spec Apple. Strange eh.
I suppose it mirrors the difference between the science and art world?

....Very much so! Spot on, Mike :happy2:
And so it brings us full circle to where I posted earlier that the Mac essentially originated, or was adopted widespread, in the creative world and the PC in the business world.

Hmm - in my job I use them equally for similar things. At home I use them as you say above, Robin.
I still think the two crossed over each other a long time ago though. Macs are more for specialisms and people making statements, PCs will always be cheaper and have the ultimate power and versitility.

Word. I dig the Hackintosh, even if I think it's crazy (but then so are those bearded men who understand Unix).

Both Mac and "PC" (Macs are PCs, y'know, so I'm taking "PC" to mean Microsofty stuff) originated in the "creative" hacker world! business machines were different clunky things running FORTRAN. But you're right about the difference in widespread adoption though...
