1TB harddrive and 16GB of RAM puts the ipad at $1,800.

Macbook Air with the same RAM/storage is about $1,600.

If you want to compete, you need a $350 keyboard for the ipad which makes it a full $550 more expensive.

As to tradeoffs, you get a better conferencing camera and touch on the ipad, but you get a better trackpad and two thunderbolt ports on the macbook.
