It really depends on what computing tasks you want to accomplish. Personally I don't think the pc has any longer than 2015 for market purposes or 2020 on the long tail. By 2015 I think 70 or 80 per sent of us will be using something no bigger than a tablet. By then the technology will be where it needs to be so that it can completely replace the computer as we know it.
Depending on what you want a computer for, the IPad might suit you just fine. If all you want to do is check your email, look things up on the web, get books, music and movies from a network attached storage and listen to them, The IPad is a good bet. If you need to run multibple opperating systems, record and edit professional audio, type and print professional documents and so on, you would probably be better off with a full laptop at this point, all though the day is not far off when the IPad or the IPhone will be really useful for some of these high end tasks.
