My husband got this iPad a few months ago (I'm using it right now!). To be honest, I was sceptical...I was thinking, we don't need that - we have a laptop and a netbook, what do we need an iPad for, it's just like a big phone??!!! How I have changed!!! I LOVE THIS IPAD!!! Yes, ok so maybe we didn't exactly NEED it but would I return it - not a chance!!!!! I use it all the time. It loads instantly, the graphics are fantastic - I find it much easier to read off an iPad than I do from our other laptops. It's very user friendly and there are some amazing apps out there. There's really not much that it can't do- and do well! It's probably not my first port of call yet for word processing however I have been told that if i buy a remote keyboard and download software then it will be every bit as good for writing assignments, compiling presentations as any other computer.

I do not in any way claim to be a computer whizz, but from the point of view of someone who uses their computer A LOT, I cannot recommend this product highly enough. The only negative point I would have is that the camera isn't the greatest quality. Asides from that, I really have had no issues with this computer. The battery life is also really good.
