I have an interesting situation. I will be transferring to a University next fall and since my laptop PC is dying a slow and painful death I have been thinking for a while of going Mac. I have a first generation iPad, which is what I use for class notes(Pages + iCloud = perfect) and general media consumption, but still(painfully) use my PC to write papers and compile presentations and occasionally code and program for some of my IT classes. I also plan to start seriously develop apps for iOS, having had an iOS dev account since May of this year.

So here's my question to you: Should I ditch my iPad and just get a MacBook Pro? Or keep my iPad and get an iMac instead? I was planning on eventually get a newer iPad, but probably not until some time in 2013 or beyond when Apple stops supporting new iOS releases for it.
