Presently I have a 13" PC Laptop running a 64 bit version of Windows 7. I have decided to move my world over to the Mac. My original plan was to get a 13" MBP and use it in my office as well as out and about.
After picking up my first iPhone last week I have found that my computer usage has profoundly changed. I still do spreadsheets and review construction drawings at my desk with its 23" monitor attached to the 13" laptop. But all my email and social networking, news, and truthfully, book reading are now done primarily on the iPhone. Even construction drawings, sent via PDF can and have been reviewed in iBooks on my iPhone. I have even found myself building and editing spreadsheets on the phone.
So, I am now considering the $699 Mac mini for the office and an iPad for work and life outside the grind but wanted to know about usage stats from you early adopters. Below are the core questions I have. Please feel free to add any information or toe curling tales of awesomeness you never expected out of the thing when you elbowed your way to one.
Thanks,
Dean

- What size do you have? (TWSS)
- Is it 3G or WiFi only?
- What do you have on it and how much room remains?
- What do you use it for? Mostly media consumption and some work? Vice Versa? Cooking? Gaming?
- If you use it for work what do you do at work that you use it for? (that was a poorly written question, sorry)
- What case do you have if any?
- To what extent, if any, has the iPad replaced you laptop?
Thanks,
Dean
