This thread is a great read! Please don't shoot the noob for jumping in and giving my 2 cents
I guess you could say we are pretty diverse here when it comes to our electronics. We have our laptops with W7 which I would never part with. Both Mr. Cheeky and myself have android phones which are just too cool and that lead me to the forums (here and XDA) where I learned about rooting and ROMS. The awesomeness of the Android platform has me really wanting a Xoom but alas, tis not in the budget. I thought about going the rooted Nook route but ended up getting a first generation iPad after the price drop (I have a 5 year old with autism and the iPad is more for him).
Honestly, aside from being addicted to electronics and wishing my bank account had a few more zeros on the end of it, if I were told I had to pick only one of those and had to part with the other two, I would probably stick with my laptop. Crazy, huh?
By the way....this is a great forum and I'm so happy to have found it!
