I read a blog entry by a bloke that is replacing his Mac Book with an iPad. His reasons were sound... he stated he basically does web surfing, email, and light productivity work such as word processing on it. When using it at home or even on the road an external keyboard can be used. The iPad can do all these things and is lighter to carry around has longer battery life than the Mac Book and has reasonably inexpensive data service via the 3G pay as you go service.

I agree... for him, and a lot of people, an iPad like device can replace a laptop/netbook.
