Hi,
Since you're considering an Ipad 2 32G+WiFi ($599), may I suggest two alternatives:
1)Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 & 8.9. (32G+WiFi) (on sale @ bestbuy $549)
Both are similiar in style of the Ipad 2
I believe the 10.1 has an usb port (I could be wrong)
The 8.9 is about the size of your netbook but not the weight.
No issue with the screen size
2) Acer Iconia A500 ((32G+WiFi) ($499)/A501 ((32G+3G/WiFi) ($599)
It's a little heavy but has options the others don't & the WiFI only is cheaper than the others
SD card slot
HDMI slot
USB Port
I'm not sure about Annotate/highlighting, but reading PDF is not an issue with either the ACER or the Samsung. There's probably an APP that will allow you to highlight.
I replaced my bulky Franklin Planner with a tablet. I wanted something with a calendar, task & note option. I had the Acer Iconia A501 & liked it. However, I found it was a bit heavy & it didn't fit comfortable in my purse. The addition slot options excited me, but I was a bit challenged to take advantage of it.
I ended up with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 (4gLTE). It's slim & light weight. I added Documents to Go for the few Office files I need.
You'll want to do a comparison to determine which best fit your needs.
