It comes down to expectations. I'm not sure about the Verge, but Anand is someone who understands the limitations of hardware - There were several interesting points on wifi performance, display resolution notes and what could be achieved on the NV Tegra3. Anand's review is a technical one (he know's this is v1 of a product) and comes from a content-creator's POV. That is what resounded with me more than the verge's article.

Where 'content creator' means typist - ok, writer.

Meanwhile if you are a musician, painter, sketch artist, calligrapher, or casually work with video or photography or many other artistic or creative media the iPad is a fantastic content creation device. To be fair to Anandtech they don't appear to fall into the trap of narrowly equating typing with creation, but so many people in this comment and many others here and all over the web do so regularly. It's an infuriatingly narrow perspective.

He meant a programmer. A business analyst. A CEO. A CFO. The President, Secretary of Defense. You know anyone and everyone that uses a keyboard daily at work and home.
