I think the views you guys are stating views that are very short-sighted.....

I recently had a problem with my iPad 2. I got stuck in portrait mode. Nothing I did could fix that (after consulting the various iPad forums). The next morning I took it in to the Apple Store -- Genius bar. Once, through their own testing, they established that the unit was faulty, I had a brand new replacement. No hassles whatsoever. Name another tablet where I can get that kind of service?

Service and support after the sale counts for a lot, in my book. Apple doesn't play around in this regard. Have an issue with any other vender and you're doing all kinds of crap sh*t trying to convince some support rep in another part of the world with an accent you can make understand, to get you RMA the unit. We'll see what kind of support is possible with my Asus Transformer prime when it comes, or even with my Lenovo Thinkpad X220t if it should develop problems.

I actually have a full-time job that has nothing to do with fixing PCs...and I don't want to hassle getting my stuff fixed.

Burn the witch!

Sure, go ahead and spend 20-30% more for lesser hardware & smaller screen.

I give Apple credit - they've done a great job of convincing people they should spend more for less.
