We bought an Apple laptop because of how much we like the IPads and because we want to do more with the Go Pro we have. I like the connectivity between the systems but I rarely use the lap top because the IPad does everything I need it to do.

I bought the IPad a few months before giving birth to my Little Man. I knew I wanted something to use during maternity leave that would be easy, light and would prevent me from walking down stairs to the computers. The apps I wanted were on the IPad so that is where I went. My Husband rolled his eyes but didn't say much. He did start borrowing it and playing with it and three months later, when his parents were in town and his Mom and I were using our IPads, he snuck out to buy his own IPad.

Part of the reason why I was hesitant to buy an IPad was because of the cult of Apple. I enjoy their products. I feel they are over priced but obviously not so much that I didn't buy one. They are too expensive for me to go out and buy a replacement until it is nearly dead.
