iPad as "mini-Mac"

With apologies to my most macho and pragmatic readers, I find this really cute and beautiful. With the Hexapose stand and the Apple wireless keyboard, the iPad, visually at least, turns into a "mini-Mac".

Is it a good replacement for a laptop? It depends. For example, so far it does not have any really good software for working on Office files, if you depend on a lot of formatting like tables and such. But for pure writing and most web use, and many other uses, it's great. And doubtlessly, the software situation will be very different in a year or two.
A laptop is more flexible and powerful, but it is twice or thrice the price, it's twice as heavy, twice as big, and, well, it's simply not an iPad when you take it off the stand.
If you don't like this, you don't. If you do, well, you know who you are, and don't need my convincing.       :-)

I also like that Hexapose holds the 'pad higher than most stands.
