[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1445191"] It's not so much a matter of "won't this duplicate a lot of the functionality of my (insert notebook model here) ... it's a matter of "will I use it?" really. I find that the answer is yes. I have a MBP that I have to carry when I'm working (can't QUITE do the whole just using the iPad just yet), but when I'm not working I much prefer to use the iPad. I enjoy watching videos, dictating email, surfing the web, playing games and other "leisure time" activities on it. I've used it for "work" (writing mainly) but I prefer it as my "relaxing" computer. So basically what's happened with me is that I have my laptop which I now mostly use for work, and my iPad which I now mostly use for leisure. YMMV, of course, and in particular just at the moment I'd wait to see what the 12th brings us in terms of news on an alleged "iPad mini" but basically I find that the two devices complement each other, and the iPad has proven to be a wonderful travel companion where I used to have to take the MBP.
