Good luck squeezing eight cores with all it's heat and battery drinking into the iPad case. First one core, then two cores and now four cores. Apple has double the processor cores with each version.

The storage space is a joke and using one fingers messes up the screen. The iPad is even more expensive than a Mac on a annual cost basis, it doesn't last long neither. So any 'value' with a Mac goes flying out the frigging window if one has a substancial investment in software.

On the other hand a Windows 7 laptop of decent quality, a non denting plastic case and a operating system that has free anti-virus, easily restored in case it gets compromised and gets security updates for 10+ years can be had for well under $800 and there is a lot more software to choose from than on OS X, the reason for that is Apple keeps changing their dam OS every year and developers can't realize a profit. Value wise, anything 13' and under or less than $2500 in the Apple laptops is a overpriced piece of junk with a fancy case that dents easily, the metal gives one static shocks, the OS only lasts a year now and if you don't upgrade and break your third party software in the process your denied security updates and your machine becomes part of a 600,000 strong Mac botnet.
