I am a college student. whether its a netbook or ipad, I need it to type essays, browse the interenet, download songs, watch movies, etc. I am also a slow typer so I will have to get a keyboard with the ipad. how much more will that cost? The main thing is I have to carry it around a lot. so which one should I get?

Well, your budget is a big deciding factor. A Windows PC is still cheaper than a Mac.

I've been on a PC for 10 years but switched to a Mac in order to create iPad apps. I wouldn't go back. ipad2 leather cases iPad 2 Pouch Cases ipad 2 smart cover
