[QUOTE="Steve_NYC, post: 1391544, member: 187237"] You've already got the iMac to take care of all the things that a powerful MacBook Pro would do, so simply put, I would go for the iPad. Granted, you don't have the portable power and flexibility that you would have with an MBP, but I can't help but think that the iMac and MBP share too much of the same to warrant both (for a student). There are always options though. You could get a refurbished 11" MBA w/4GB RAM and 128GB HD for $999 ($1,099 for the 13" MBA) and an iPad 2 (16GB Wi-Fi) directly from Apple for $350 (16GB Wi-Fi) if you want to get both. A refurb from Apple has the same warranty as a new one, so there's no worry there. I have the iPad 3 and I love it, but an iPad 2 is nothing to sneeze at. It's got 85% of everything the iPad 3 has.
