This guy brought his MacBook to Mediabistro’s Social Media Optimization conference in San Francisco (btw, good stuff) where it ended up serving as booster chair for his iPad.
The MacBook later went back in his laptop bag, never to be seen again.
A few months back, we asked whether your iPad was replacing your laptop — the answer was mostly no — but after seeing other folks with iPads at the conference, I wonder if that answer has changed.
I was in the minimalist minority (phone, pen/paper), about half the participants had laptops of varying modernity. The iPad people also had the advantage of being able to slip it back into a bag for coffee breaks, lunch etc., whereas the laptop luggers had to decide whether to leave it behind or not.
What are you using your iPad for now that you used to use your laptop for?
