    iPad would be usable for work—maybe—if it treated files normally, i.e. stored in some place and catalogued in folders. Apple forces their "new UI paradigm" where every piece of software has their own sandboxed set of files, ideally lying flat without folders. When you open a file in another app, it makes its own copy of it and they never stay in sync.
    A lot of apps use dropbox or now probably iCloud for it but it seems like more hassle than it's worth.

    I have an iPad and a MacBook Air and while iPad is pleasant for email, browsing web and Twitter, I'd have to be a masochist to work on it.

    You can get one of the 2010 11" Airs relatively cheap. They're fast enough, just about the size of iPad and have better battery than the 2011 ones.
