I thought about an iPad, but as I work away from home for some periods, I do need Windows installed, hence my option for the lighter MBP. Specifically, I am going on a training course in Hungary (at the beautiful and old University of Pécs, in fact) for a software that, unfortunately, is Windows-only. But the iPad remains on my wish list.
