Well, a MacBook Air is an incredible tool on the field if the iPad can't keep up with needed tasks.

Now, knowing the limitations of a tablet. I think everybody can make a choice of what's best for them.
And the fact we're more pragmatic on the situation does not give you a free pass to call us Apple fanboys.
As I already mentioned, I would gladly see the iPad fit more needs, but mine are already filled. I bought it knowing it would be a perfect addition to my workflow.

You repeat the same thing, but the iPad in its actual form is an incredible professional tool for me : textbooks, notes, second display on the go...
Different professional needs than yours are perfectly valid. It does not make the iPad a toy.

It is as though someone put a rusty old Yugo engine in a Ferrari. It might look good with the hood closed, but it isn't going to perform very well on a race track or even a city street.
