The bigger screen is a given, but that also adds weight and diminished portability, so I see that as tie depending on your preference.

What else is a big differentiation?
Well, I use my iPad primarily for business. I can now take it in business trips instead of a laptop - much lighter and consumes far less power. It is suitable for creating/editing documents, running presentations, organising and scheduling appointments/finances, as well as the obvious such as email and video conferencing. In short - almost anything I could do on my Mac.

Its also great for watching video and playing games on long journeys. I love reading, but I need more than just books...
