You would be downgrading if you buy an iPad to replace your macbook. I have a macbook and the iPad is nothing close to it. iPad is just nice for browsing, email, chat, and a bunch of apps. It can't do nearly as much as a macbook can. If your macbook is old, then sure, throw it out and get an iPad, but keep in mind that iPads don't have much hard-disk space. They range from 8 to 64 gig. Macs come with at least 160 and can go up to 500 gig.
