Macbook Pro or iPad 5

[drago80]

I don't know if i should get a Macbook Pro or the iPad 5.
I have more than enough money to buy the iPad 5 when its released later this year, but I am a couple hundreds short of a Macbook. I don't have a tablet and I am using a 1.5 year old HP Pavilion 1.8GHZ. Now I dont know if i should get an iPad because I dont have a tablet, but i already have a 17" laptop and a White 16GB iPhone 5. I've narrowed it down to these:
(I'm not a technophobe and I understand tech talk)

13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.9GHz Dual-core Intel i7

13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 with Retina Display

(Is 256GB enough for this MacBook, especially since its Retina?)

White iPad 5 32GB

I am posting this thread for other peoples opinions on what I need in computing device and if you could, please explain why it would suit me. I play light games, mostly browse the web, use social-media, edit pictures and videos, listen to music and watch TV shows and movies (mostly contain flash content).

Those two machines/devices are so far apart that it makes little sense to even suggest one over the other. If 95% of your consumption is flash then the iPad is not for you.

If you use websites with 95% Flash, there is no way an iPad will work, as iPads don't support flash.

So the options are between the MacBooks. Personally, I would go for the Retina, because of the portability (if you considered an iPad, portability must be important to you), the screen, all SSD etc. I do think the rMBP is worth the extra $90, even considering the bump down from i7 to i5, but your uses don't need anything near the i7. 256 GB should be enough because it sounds like you will mostly use the web.
