Achieve 3000: "How does the iPad stack up?" Response

iPads and laptops and netbooks have many differences and similarities.  Some things about the iPad are better than some things on a netbook or laptop and vice-versa, but I think that a laptop or a netbook would be more beneficial for our academy.  First of all, on a laptop or a netbook, you have the ability to print and save things on a flash drive.  With that, you could work on those documents on another computer.  On a iPad, you don't have the ability to save on a flash drive and work on a different computer.  Another reason why I think using a laptop would be more efficient is because most people know how to use them, and for some, it would be hard to learn how to use an iPad.  Also, iPads are more expensive than most netbooks or laptops.  Overall, I think it depends on the user whether they prefer something like a laptop or netbook, or something like an iPad.  Everyone probably has different thoughts.
