Why the iPad 3 Won't Replace Your Laptop

The basic argument is this is how it's done, ergo, it's how it will be. That's is weak.

I agree with the conclusion - laptops have a niche. They are precision tools. But laptops carry no value over a fully capable tablet for most people.

As that mass of people vanishes from the market the re-pricing of the laptop as a professional tool will further wall off its niche. Completely? No. But to a large degree, from a mass consumer perspective.

Article MIGHT be correct.. But I don't really see how they can make this statement, not knowing what the iPad 3 will offer. It might be completely revolutional for all we know. Looking forward to the day when we can run OSX instead of iOS on iPads.

I'd prefer something with an integrated keyboard, like an Asus Transformer.
