Valid points. I don’t have an iPad (yet), but when I get one, I reckon (not sure why I just used that word) I will use it in about the same way. I will create content on it when it’s convenient (on a plane, bus, train, boat, patio, sofa), but I will not be replacing my Macbook Pro with it any time soon. I’ve pondered about the next stage of my technology setup(s), and while an iPad is definitely there, the absence of multiple laptops and/or desktops is not.

The new MacBook (and Pro) are the first notebooks from Apple to use a SATA optical drive. This means that if you were prepared to jerry-rig it up, you could actually take out the optical drive and put a second hard drive in there.

The pic on the right is from the excellent MacBook Pro disassembly by iFixit.
