>> Huh? half the price? We just bought my wife an HP laptop with 8GB of ram, 750GB hard drive space, a screen that can be seen clearly from across the room and we paid $699 for it. On the other hand, I paid $700 for my iPad with 64GB of total workspace and storage.

Well, if we're going for the lowest available configuration, then
laptops can be had for around $400, which makes them still just about
equal to the iPad in price, with more capability.
