Has anyone tried out the new iPad? there is a lot of hype about it, but is it worth it, or would my money be better spent on a notebook?

depends

Hey again Jillybean,

Hopefully others will chime in on this issue, because it comes down to personal opinion.

If you don't mind the price, then the Ipad is a neat little device that is great for doing some surfing, checking emails, watching videos while, say, sitting on a couch or drinking a coffee.

But it has some drawbacks as well. For one, typing on it can be a bit of a headache, so you wouldn't want to compose any large written texts. As well, it has no Flash support, which impacts your browsing experience. Also, some people say it is a bit heavy for the features it offers.

So, if you have the cash to spend and you like trendy items, then sure, go for it. But if you are practical shopper, you might want to get a netbook instead, or wait a few years until Apple really tweaks the product into something remarkable.

Cheers.
