Just sold my iPad with Retina Display (WiFi+Cellular). I purchased this iPad from Verizon and it has served me well. I plan to save the money and add to it next month in order to purchase a MacBook Pro - yeah Apple has me spoiled now. I'll finally be able to replace Linux with OS X - which is a derivative of BSD.

I have been using Linux as my sole operating system since 2001, when I happened upon Debian GNU/Linux. Linux has been fun but I've been travelling towards Apple products over the past two years and I look forward to having a fully "Apple house".

The journey continues..
 
Welcome to the Apple world, it is very easy to convert PC users to iMac users. I converted to Apple three years ago and never looked back (except using PC for work :mad2:)

Welcome to Apple's World. What you use it for? Edit video? Photoshop? Heavy travel?

I used the iPad for a modile computer (web surfing, email, book reader) and a movie now and then. I found that I use my laptop more often than i use the iPAd, so I'm going to switch my laptop over to an Apple product.

The Macbook will be used for the same thing the iPad was used for. However, I also do graphics artwork and plan to create iOS and OS X apps, so I need something more powerful than the iPad for these tasks. I'll be installing XCode and Photoshop on the Macbook - the iPAd can't really handle those types of tasks.

Ah. Macbook Pro is perfect for you. I am pretty happy with Macbook Air as it's pretty faster enough for edit video (iMovie) for 1080p.

I looked at the Macbook Air and was really impressed with its weight and thickness, it was very tempting. If I ever get a second laptop it will be the Air.
 
I use Mac since 2007 and I have MacBook Pro, mostly for traveling and school.

I use gaming PC to play games and basic tasks at home.
