General - iPad vs Netbook - View Post

Never have I laughed so much at a video due to bias.

When he was comparing the note taking facilities I was in stiches. He claimed that netbooks had notoriously bad keyboards, yet didn't care to go into any more detail (I have never had a problem with a netbook keyboard, yes it's a little small, but they are reliable and not much smaller than the iPad's virtual keyboard).

He then tried note taking on his iPad, when the screen decided to randomly flip orientation a couple of times. He then placed it on the desk and said you can type on it and it works just like a regular PC. Does he use his PC flat on the surface of his desk? It looked extremely unnatural and akward, no-one will want to type like that. There is a reason PC and laptop monitors are stood upright.

And then he just nonchalantly claimed that the iPad was better at note taking, even though it was clearly much worse.

*sigh* Apple fanboys...
