Specs don't capture everything. An iPad is way better for browsing/reading/watching movies. Instant on is awesome. And I have to charge my iPad once every two weeks or so. Laptops don't have much for standby time. The App store is way nicer for installing software.

Of course I spend much more time on my laptop. I'm sure not going to code on the iPad.

If you run Linux on your netbook and don't turn it off (e.g. only go to sleep) then you can both have "instant-on" and an even better way to install software.
