Is it for work/school? The iPad is fun, but it’s not for getting things done, it’s to play and chat and watch videos (aka kill time).

Do not buy a PC. Get an Apple laptop. What will you be using it for?
The laptop is way more versatile. The IPAD is very limited. It is more of a toy, something to play with and surf the net.
If i were you I would buy the laptop. The ipad is more of a toy and you would not be able to do the same amount of things on it.
It also depends what you are going to do with it.
The iPad can only run one application at a time, and you are forced to purchase them from Apple directly, and they are very draconian on what they allow developers to sell.
Also, the iPad doesn’t work with Adobe Flash, and 90% of the sites you go to these days have some flash on them. Most of those time waster games sites like Addictinggames.com, all those games are in Flash. You will miss out on quite a bit on the Web without Flash.
The iPad costs as much or more than some entry level laptops, but doesn’t do nearly anything a laptop can do, other than kill time. Its a toy.
