iPad or Notebook

[dr love]

You would have to define "office work", if it is only for emails and here then the Ipad is a pleasure...

emails , budget spreadsheets and such and staff records .: doc

I'd go for fthe Ipad; if Steve Jobs doesn't have faith in the Flash player then there must be a reason.

Thanks Anita , I'm leaning more towards the notebook at present .: doc

Have you thought of any other tablet that runs on android honeycomb instead of an iPad. Then you get flash.

Or, motorola xoom - a tablet that runs on windows.

There are a lot more options then just iPad or notebook.

Yeah, that's why I'm still using my old laptop as I can't make up my mind where to go. I might go mac book and then get an iPad when the next generation comes out.

You are really talking about two different beasts here Doc. Tablet or Notebook is the real question.
You need to decide this first, before worrying about flash ect...

Now if it's use is primarily for browsing here and emails then a tablet would be my first choice. As already said if you want computing power stick with a Notebook, that being said a lot of Notebooks on the cheaper end of the scale really struggle to do just about anything as they are usually designed for web browsing and not a lot more.

I'm really impressed with the iPad and it really is a pleasure to use.

The only drawback is the lack of flash, but I think flashes days are numbered.
It only affects the YouTube clips in posts here.
As for porn all the redtube and xnxx.com sites work fine.

I'm glad to see that your priorities are right, Dave

Just wanted to add that the iPads battery life is absolutely astounding !
I've used Notebooks with claimed high hour battery usage, but this thing really will last over 10 hours on a single charge !

On the topic of patches that Jimbo mentioned there is a web browser that allows you to view flash, but it would be more for mainstream websites.
And there really seems to be an app for everything !

Thanks Nat , need the flash for all the good porn that's on the web.: lol
