Unless you paid $400-$500 for your raffle tickets how can you not make a profit?
I object to your Easter-centric reply.

The iPad is simple enough for small children to use so I think you could figure it out. If you want the money then just sell it. Otherwise turn it on and Im sure you can operate it. But if you want the "geekiest" stuff then stick with what you have.
Check out Pages, it's no Microsoft Word, but it's very enjoyable to use and is robust.
Coda is really cool for editing code on the go too: https://panic.com/dietcoda/ It's a huge hit on the Mac.
And there's even Matlab for iOS: http://www.mathworks.com/mobile/?s_tid=main_mobile_ML_rp
As for CATIA, there's even an app for you to look through your models: http://www.3dvia.com/products/3dvia-mobile/
So actually, quite a bit there for you.
Highly would recommend a Bluetooth keyboard for your needs.
Get an app like logmein or something similar and then connect to whatever computer you usually use. Use the iPad as a remote desktop and see if it works for you.

All the rumors lately seem to indicate that Microsoft is working on an office release for the iPad. Nobody has any idea when or how much they will charge.

You say you have a Note II and Laptop? Why not have one of those "Fun" pieces of tech in your life? You know an iPad that goes around the house, you load up with some apps, sits on your nightstand. I know that is what my iPad is like.
Get a black felt tip pen and write "Thank you for your support - Steve" on the box. Then place the box in storage and forget about it for about 50 years. Someone will find it and .....
If you find you really don't want it (and yes, there are people who will find no use for an iPad), donating it is a good idea. I've had just about every version (1, 2, 3). As I upgrade I pass the old one to my grandkids. Well this last time we decided we didn't néed the iPad 1 so I called the local children's hospital. They were thrilled. We added a $50 gift card too. There are so many sick kids there and many have parents who are struggling with just meeting bills and having a sick child. The hours of enjoyment that the kids get (when their days simply aren't much fun) is worth more than you can imagine.
We'll do the same next time too.
