Instant on; nicer screen; easier to use with my feet up on the couch
I’ll give you the screen, but this comes on just as quick from sleep mode (which is how it’s usually left), and I currently have my feet up on the couch to check, and can still use the very nice keyboard without having to crane my neck to look at the screen which is nicely angled up.
Maybe the iPad will grow on me – though mrs aracer reports back that it’s not just us who are luddites, most of her office (who got given them by work) are also a bit unsure about it. For the time being though, I’m enjoying being a cynic from a position of experience 😉 (and nobody can even accuse me of wasting my money, or buying it on a whim 😛 )
