Thanks everyone! I concur with a lot that has been said here. I have thought about it more and more. I have decided that the laptop will suit my needs more as I already have an iPhone that I do use all the time! I have a notebook to travel with, which I love! My laptop I have is great but getting some age on it! I will just upgrade the laptop. I multitask way to much for the iPad. I am not over excited about movies or music but enjoy all the neat things I can do with the pc! I appreciate all yr help! It pays to think things out and ask others their input, I think for me an iPad would be a real luxury that wouldn't really fill my needs.
