Hey Guys, This macbook is inevitably a great replacement for your iPad or any tablet. I already own a macbook pro 13 inch fully loaded and that is my primary computer for hardcore computing needs like video edits, photos and any other intensive tasks. This macbook however is unbeatable in how well it performs for having a processor that only draws 5 watts of power and is also fanless. Do go ahead and buy the base model of this machine as thats the value for money. Do not bother buying the 512 gb sad model as that is an overkill and then the product really becomes overpriced. Also, buy this as a secondary on the go machine if you already have a primary laptop and this is an awesome tablet replacement. I also got rid of my iPads as i love using this instead as this is a full computer experience than half baked touch/computer experience like the iPad.
