iPad mini Ditching macbook pro for

[JS3]

Soooo.

I am thinking if I should ditch my macbook pro. I have a Macbook pro, Mac mini, ipad, and iphone. I was thinking about buying a ipad mini then ditching the macbook pro and my ipad taking its place. Sooo confused. I have my mac mini hooked to a 27" monitor which is my main business computer. Most time I go away I grab the ipad, but thinking with mini I would grab that.

It all depends on your use. If you dont need the MPB then sell it and get the iPad and keep your mac mini.

If you are going to ditch your MacBook Pro, you should mail it to me and I will take good care of it
I'm in need of a good laptop for school work.

The iPad (any of them) cannot "replace" a MBP. BUT if your main computer is your Mac mini, and you don't find yourself actually needing a laptop. Then heck yes.

I would do it, but my rMBP is my only computer. So there is no way a iPad can replace it.

Sounds good. I'm not gonna be buying another MacBook once my current one dies...since I have an iMac as well...my ipad pretty much does everything else anyways

To think an iPad can replace a MBP is funny.... very very funny.

Depends who for, though.

I know more and more people who use their iPads 90% of the time now - their laptops have become rarely used desktops.

Yep, it's that other 10% that's the issue. Of course YMMV but when you need some heavy computing the iPad just doesn't cut the mustard.

I've had 2 people offer to trade their MBP's for my 3rd Gen. iPad, so obviously people are doing it. Unfortunately, I have no use for a laptop, having an iMac and iPad already.

It has more me b.c I just use a laptop to surf. I am on a computer all day at work

I use my MacBook Pro for creating workshops and files for work, my ipad 3 is what I use to present them. They work well together but I couldn't use my ipad as my only work machine. If you can kudos to you!

My perfect lineup is going to be a MacBook pro, iPad mini with cellular service and a plain Jane cell phone.
