Well, I'd go for the $500 ipad model if I was buying one.
No $200 netbook is going to do HD video, 3D games etc. which the iPad can (and I'd use a lot).
And I find reading and marking stuff up on a netbook/laptop very uncomfortable.
A tablet would be much better--but unfortunately the iPad falls short as well due to lack of stylus and full suite of mark up options etc.
But as soon as a tablet with full mark up options comes out with the form factor, battery life and price of the iPad I'll buy one day one.
