I have an iMac which served as my main computer while I used my iPad. As soon as I bought a MacBook Pro, that iPad became obsolete with me. Games? I can play the games I want on my iMac or MBP. My iPhone has a better camera. I doubt if I will ever choose to watch a vid on my iPad over my 17 inch MBP and as mentioned before emailing and web-browsing is a chore on the iPad. I even prefer iMessage on MBP or iMac over iPhone or iPad. I travel frequently, but have had no problems taking my laptop with me. I love techie gadgets and love to find reasons for things, but I lose my iPad more than I use my iPad. Thank goodness for the finder app.
