without useful things such as an “everthing an actual laptop has” most retarded product ever (and im not talking about the keyboard, some people could use it for their ipod touch or iphone)
because it’s a crapp 150 laptop. laptops are too expensive. the ipad has everything I need. browsing, youtube,a wide range of usefull apps. the ipad 2 however is overpriced.
yea except there are no USB ports, you can’t use half the internet cuz it doesn’t support flash and there is no optical drive. Also its not upgradeable, you just have to buy a new one.
Well, you can always put in more RAM, better hard drive, for some select laptops the GPU is even swappable. But for an iPad-priced laptop, it’s probably just RAM and HD.
I used an iPad to take down all my courses last year, and will do so this year. Typing on the touchscreen isn’t a pain at all, it just takes a day or two to get used to it.
Flash content is less than 15% of the internet, as major sites are converting to HTML5 format because the iPad market is so huge. Many Miniclip games, like Gravity Guy, are available at the App Store. USB drives can be used with an app, the name escapes me. And who the hell even uses CDs anymore?
This is cheaper and faster than any laptop with comparable specs (flash memory, 10″ screen), and a smartphone requires a data plan (which costs 60 bucks a month where I live, a total ripoff), and isn’t a note-taking tool.
I can’t count the times my netbook-wielding friends have complained about short battery life (4-5 hours), slow startup times, and how Word keeps freezing up.
I should also add that I used only Windows until six months ago (now I’m a Linux convert), and was sick of how fast the system comes to a crawl.
Dell Inspiron Duo (MSRP ~$600, but I’ve found them for ~$450 frequently – without bulk pricing).
10.1″ screen, 320gb HDD, 2 usb ports, flip touchscreen (built in keyboard – since it’s a laptop too), fully functional standard operating system (Windows 7) – runs any program that runs on Windows 7, 2Gb RAM, webcam, identical wifi capabilities, better bluetooth, headphone, microphone, SIM card, dual speakers, and an accelerometer/gyro.
Sorry to break it to you, but you could have saved yourself $50 and not needed to convert your lifestyle.
Oh, and you could have put Linux on it when you converted.
It’s called efficiency. Typing school notes is much faster than writing them by hand. I don’t think that’s a valid factor to judge a person’s social life by.
Do you go green or something. That isn’t really an intimidating comment to make, I probably would like you when you’re mad, you would have some personality.
It’s great you can take your notes down on a device like the ipad.
Then you can easily save them to a USB pen or external drive and plug them into a friends laptop to share and callaborate later on while your ipad is charging.
Bob, we know there are dongles and whatnot to give the iPad USB etc. The whole point is, a netbook gives you all of that out of the box! If I want something that is comfortable for longterm typing, that I want to hook-up a pendrive to, maybe give me a secondary screen, then I’m lugging around so much crap anyway I might as well get a netbook. For much less, I might add.
yea, people may not use CDs, you know except for people who have cd players in their cars. Also, I dont care about cd drives… I care about optical drives which can read and write CDs/DVDs/Blu-Ray discs.
Also… remember those things call tablet computers which had USB ports? optical drives and ran an actual OS? Yea no one buys those any more because Steve Jobs successfully set technology back 5 years with these toys.
I bought an Eee PC off ebay for $100 (AWW YEAH) and I got a massive battery for $30 that will give me 8-10 hours of battery life on a single charge as long as I don’t use a lot of Wi-Fi or bluetooth. The only drawback is that it takes over half that long to get to a full charge.
In my opinion the iPad can’t really do something other machines can not. Therefor, it’s just made as a gadget and not really to be used seriously. Hey look, now I can see Angry Birds better then on my iPhone; HALLELUYA!
Indeed! In my opinion it’s hilarious. But seeing a lot of bad memes trying to be forced and therefore hated the last few days, it’s unlikely that people will accept it, just because NO NEW MEMES °_°. No but srsly, I like it. Would like to see it around on memembase for a while.

I knew I should have bought the Galaxy Tab!
But without useful things such as an USB port…

HA!
hehe his laptop won’t play Flash!
hahaha… so full of win!
So basically, the iPad is a massive and more expensive iPod Touch and an expensive and crappy laptop. What reason is there to buy it then?
Because you’re a Mac fanboy who does not work off of logic or reason.
It’s obvious, when St. Jobbs makes something, it’s perfect and should be bought because St. Jobbs made it.
I still think the iPad is crap.
I bought one for software development. There is money in making apps.
When the revolution finally happens, people like you will be lined up and shot.
You can’t. He’s the kind that supplies weapons (to both sides, probably). There is money in supplying weapons.
So your’e a Mac fanboy that uses Protools and Cubase instead? Or god help us Garage Band.
WHOA! That was one helluva pun! Took me a minute to get it. Logic and Reason –> Protools and Cubase.
Not that it was funny or anything. It was just a helluva pun.
because it’s a crapp 150 laptop. laptops are too expensive. the ipad has everything I need. browsing, youtube,a wide range of usefull apps. the ipad 2 however is overpriced.
All of Apple’s prices are too damn high.
And the iPad sucks ass anyways.
An iPad costs 500 bucks. A netbook costs 300.
There is literally no reason to buy an iPad.
This ^
yea except there are no USB ports, you can’t use half the internet cuz it doesn’t support flash and there is no optical drive. Also its not upgradeable, you just have to buy a new one.
I do believe “half the internet” is a bit of a stretch.
Yeah, it’s more like two thirds, or even three quarters.
I do believe that calling any laptop that costs as much as an iPad “upgradeable” is a bit of a stretch.
Well, you can always put in more RAM, better hard drive, for some select laptops the GPU is even swappable. But for an iPad-priced laptop, it’s probably just RAM and HD.
My $500 HP has the option to upgrade the hard drive, ram, screen, cpu, and wifi card. So everything but the video card basically.
hmm.. this new meme on the last pane. not sure if want
Agreed. Spreading incorrect generalisations can be hurtful.
But, 99.9% of the internet is incorrect anyway. So, I’ll just have a giggle and hope no one takes this seriously, because I have not.
I hate the incorrect generalisation that all idiots are savants
Thank you!
Doesn’t have a Disk Drive either

Stop trying to defend something just because you bought it.
We all know it fills a nonexistent niche that tablet-making companies invented to sell these things.
Want a portable computer? Laptop.
Need something that can be carried in your pocket? Smart phone.
This is cheaper and faster than any laptop with comparable specs (flash memory, 10″ screen), and a smartphone requires a data plan (which costs 60 bucks a month where I live, a total ripoff), and isn’t a note-taking tool.
HP Pavilion dm1z. 11.6″ screen. Does not use Intel Atom. Also cheaper. Has all the connectivity options you’ll need.
I fail to see how something that can run an actual OS, and costs $380 is not faster and not cheaper than an iPad.
You forget that Apple screens their internet, so they never see those sites that list laptops for reasonable prices.
I can’t count the times my netbook-wielding friends have complained about short battery life (4-5 hours), slow startup times, and how Word keeps freezing up.
I should also add that I used only Windows until six months ago (now I’m a Linux convert), and was sick of how fast the system comes to a crawl.
Yes but can it multitask???
Actually, it can.
OpenOffice > Word

Need a life?
Yep
It’s called efficiency. Typing school notes is much faster than writing them by hand. I don’t think that’s a valid factor to judge a person’s social life by.
I think you got it wrong, typing notes is ok, defending an over-rated and overpriced product like it matters is the thing that worries.
kids these days……
Not you, and apparently you are the only person who matters.
My bad, just got used to hearing s//t about Apple on the web.
Your comments are amazing, could you burn them onto a CD for me.
OK, that didn’t even make sense.
You don’t make sense to me, u mad bro
YOU WOULDN’T LIKE ME WHEN I’M F/CKIN MAD
Fortunately, I don’t go berserk over nothing.
Do you go green or something. That isn’t really an intimidating comment to make, I probably would like you when you’re mad, you would have some personality.

You bought it to be cool. Just admit it.
Can’t tell if honest or just trolling….
Lol Umad?
Maybe you just need one of these:

I own an Ipad, and this made me LOL. Thats why I really only use it for work, school, and memebase.com

That is NOT an app.

Also… remember those things call tablet computers which had USB ports? optical drives and ran an actual OS? Yea no one buys those any more because Steve Jobs successfully set technology back 5 years with these toys.
Because why play a free game, when you can just buy it to take up some storage?
Apple doesn’t seem to be too concerned with Blu-Ray. Even their most expensive laptops aren’t available with BD-ROM drives.
Yeah… Call me when a laptop can get 10 hours on a charge.
I called you, there are laptops with 10 hours on a charge. But you didn’t listen because of your mactardism.
I bought an Eee PC off ebay for $100 (AWW YEAH) and I got a massive battery for $30 that will give me 8-10 hours of battery life on a single charge as long as I don’t use a lot of Wi-Fi or bluetooth. The only drawback is that it takes over half that long to get to a full charge.
ipod users r a genius. Apple sucks
Apple its selfdoes suck – it is those who suckle apon the Apple that suck

Umadfanf*gs?
I have Asus EEE Pad Transformer. Btch please.
/\ this
Asus eee pad is way better , at least it has flash
Which person with a life cares about this crap? Got an old pc in my room, got a normal phone in my pocket, but got a girl in my bed.
At last – a functioning Human brain ! ! !

IPAD RULZ
H8RS DRUL

Yeaaaah let’s all pay 10 times as much for a mac which is inferior yeaaaahhh!!!
This URA GENIUS meme on the last panel has caused more lulz for me than the last five weeks of memebase.
Indeed! In my opinion it’s hilarious. But seeing a lot of bad memes trying to be forced and therefore hated the last few days, it’s unlikely that people will accept it, just because NO NEW MEMES °_°. No but srsly, I like it. Would like to see it around on memembase for a while.
that is because it IS genius . . .
It’s funny cause this is exactly what I’m using… It is basically useless so I just use it for memebase and youtube
If apple just made an ipad version of this, they could charge infinity dollars for it.
