Maybe I'm the idiot, but you won't catch me dead paying laptop money for a neuter-computer.
iPads are better for watching shows on a stationary bike, since they fit on the bike
iPads are better for reading manga, since you can hold them vertically
and iPads are clearly better for drawing--you can't draw on a laptop.
There are some hybrid laptops that do these things, but they're bad at them. Especially drawing, I've used enough HP convertibles with "stylus support" over the years to know that.
