Indeed, while no one is calling you "a Luddite" for not liking your iPad, you have inferred multiple times that those of us who enjoy and have use for tablets have merely succumbed to PR brainwashing. There's no tablet evangelizing going on here. If most of your mobile computing does not involve alpha-numerical input beyond a Google search, then the absence of a keyboard and consequent portability is very much a pro, particularly if, like many of us, you're already proficient with a variety of small keyboards from texting. The screen size (7" in my case) is not merely adequate but optimal for many activities, not least of all reading. I routinely send any online article longer than a few paragraphs to my tablet rather than read it on my 22" monitor.
My use for a tablet, however, by no mean negates or belittles your preference for a laptop. Different strokes, as they say. Why go on the defensive?
