1. Personally, an iPad for me is just another nice gadget. I'm a developer and I want my MacBook
2. The iPad has a lot of things less technical people prefer over a notebook:
2.1 - easy of / lack of - maintenance. It just works, you click the home button and it works, things are simply there
2.2 - battery life. iPad wins hands down from all other alternatives
2.3 - pencil. both for creative work as for boring office work and signing contracts
2.4 - games for the kids/pets. Roadtrip? waiting for the doctors appointment? anything? give them the iPad and have them kill time with $random thing
2.5 - support. No matter what the problem is, walk into an Apple Store and have it fixed. (I know some parts of the world have different service, but at least here in .nl its perfect)
