And, Discostu, I've seen no one claiming the iPad was ever intended to replace the workstation class machines you are talking about or even all desktop computers. However about 75% of desktop machines in enterprise ONLY do things at which the iPad excels... and are prime candidates to be replaced, increasing their users' productivity. You claimed iPads were mere "readers," implying they were not useful for anything but display of media. I showed you were wrong. They are that and more. A lot more.

Thanks for your post that most PCs and Macs are more than what a real world (many of them being computer dumbasses) user actually needs to get through his day at work and at home. I have posted for months to you that Apple laptops and desktops were ornate overkill, too expensive and too capable for what most users needed. But you played the game of denial. Now you back up all I posted. Now you are the cheerleader for underpowered iPads

I have nothing against underpowered iPads with minimal storage but this only confirms that low end PC laptops and desktops at Best Buy will do the trick for 85% of consumers. They have no need to spend 3x more on Apple laptops and desktops./

You go ahead and claim what you want, DennisW... but people who buy Apple computers do NOT WANT poorly designed Windows driven crap computers, no matter what the specs—and THAT is the bottom line—not what you keep claiming. Most of them have already BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, and have made their decision not to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Doing that, according to Einstein, is insanity.

So, Dennis, they made their choice and made their change to a Mac and are quite happy... getting a result that they have found is a vast improvement over what they had before. All the ranting you are doing is not going to change that.

So give it a rest.
