Have MBA-iPad II+older Mini worth it?

Okay, so I have a perfect condition (even keyboard) MBA thats about 5 months old. I really like the new iPads, for some reason much more than the older ones. I want to get one, but I don't like the idea of having such a nice iPad and an amazing MBA that I'll never use (no I won't give it to you ).

So what I thought was-I'd sell/trade my MBA for a mac mini and a display, and get maybe 7-800 out of it (mini worth about 400 bucks, my mba worth around 1200-it's freaking PERFECT), with which I'd buy a top of the line iPad and about break even. How does this sound to you guys (what would you do)?

And since a thread like this is worthless without it--I use my MBA like 95% for browsing the web and it's by far overkill for what I do with it. I type some stuff every once in a while (maybe like a thousand words of document typing a week on average ). I'd also like to use my new desktop for ripping DVDs which I cannot do on my MBA (I've tried everything, and it's not really important enough to me to trouble shoot it, I don't have a superdrive).

I feel that the iPad has matured now and I like it much more than the original (I can't quite put my finger on it but I think it's that the rounded edges feel a million times better to hold) and I'd like to have one now.

(I know, I know..cool story huh? I just want your thoughts guys )

 

Come on guys it's been an hour. I'll summarize my question:

Is an iPad and a desktop the perfect combination for someone who mainly browses the web? I just want a little bit of reassurance

 

Thank you so much...I think I'm gonna do it. My only hope is that my friend at apple gets 15% off friends and family asap on iPad 2s
