Why is an iPad better than a Laptop?

The iPad is more like a handheld, touchscreen computer. In addition to playing music and video, it has web browsing and ebook reading capabilities.

Improved answer --

I have been reading ebooks on my iPod Touch for quite some time now. So, no big change there.

I also browse the Web with my Touch. Although I will admit that the larger screen Web browsing easier.

In reality the iPad has no significant advantage over the iPod Touch. And it probably is not as functional as an iPhone, no phone or camera.

So, why the iPad? The iPhone now has big time competition. I have talked to users of the Droid phone from Verison. They say that the the iPhone is running a very distant second place to the Droid. Apple needs some new gadget to boost their sales numbers. The problem is that there is really nothing new to the iPad.

One more thing. Try to carry an iPad around in your pocket of purse! LOL

What is the difference between a Dell laptop and a Dell notebook?

Inspiron is the home user budget notebook line of DELL. It has been around for a long time. Studio series came out recently with a much nicer looking design and some of the features of the high-end XPS series (Slot loading DVD drive, barrel-hinge, backlit keyboards etc..). However Studio is also aimed at the budget market, therefore most probably it will replace the Inspiron line. I'd pick a studio over an inspiron.

What makes Dell computers good?

Well, that is a matter of opinion. They have a good marketing department and good name recognition therefore a lot of people make the assumption they must be good. They used to have a good warranty which a lot of people considered a major plus but in efforts to cut costs, their warranty has been cut severely. In my own PERSONAL opinion, having worked extensively with and on PCs over the course of about 25 years or so, I don't recommend them at all. Dell now seems to deliver an average 'run of the mill' system with other manufacturers beating them significantly in quality. When I was working as a computer consultant, people were frequently asking me for recommendations. Invariably, I specifically recommended people buy ANYTHING but a Dell for that reason.
