Those who think the iPad feels heavy need to steer clear of the grossly overweight Netbooks. Most are between 2 & 3 lbs. with the majority over 2.5 lbs. Im surprised they are even considered portable. LOL. And lets not even start with the Macbook Air, what a PIG, 3 POUNDS. What was Apple thinking, no one could carry that much bulk & weight around on a regular basis.
You dont use a netbook by holding it with one hand and the other hand to touch it.
The iPad weighs the same as a McDonald's Quarter Pounder and large coke. Most Americans have no problem lifting that... Maybe the iPad will be good for you.

You're something. First you critize/ question him about he's weighing methods. How do you determine the weight of your "benchmark" hardcover "regular" book? You check the shipping weight on amazon and guess the weight. Fail.
Second, you type all this up and claim he has posted misinformation only to give us ANOTHER great example of a book that weighs more than the iPad.
As Ace Ventura would say "LLLLLoOOOOOSsSSEE--RRR"
That's SOME math you got there! I hope you're not in a financial line of work
One 1/4 lb burger + one 21oz soda = 1.6 POUNDS??? On second thought, that soda is pretty heavy.. it might tip the scales alone if you hold both in your hands at the same time. But the weight goes down as you eat it..![]()
Actually you can use a netbook exactly that way. Just as you can lay the iPad down to use it.You dont use a netbook by holding it with one hand and the other hand to touch it.
I don't really find it "too heavy" however without a case on it, to provide a bit better grip, it can be tricky to hold it with one hand "naked" (the iPad not me...). I tried it with the Apple case and found it much easier to grip, which as I was able to relax my grip it became much easier to hold and less fear of dropping it. I hate pretty much every case I've tried for my iPhone but am actually impressed with the Apple case for the iPad. I don't think it weighs but a few ounces and really adds some benefits to the device. Still not heavy though

I thought the iPad was heavy as well, that was before I started working out.
Now it feels paper thin.. I swear I came in my room once and seen it floating by its self!
you resurrected a thread from a year ago and this is the best you can do comment wise? sad
This thread was actually necro'd by an advertising post which luckily got removed. Most likely the user above saw the thread and posted in it when that happened. Not really their fault...you resurrected a thread from a year ago and this is the best you can do comment wise? sad
