Lots of iPad hate in the comments. But remember, if nobody wanted them, they wouldn't keep selling as well as they are.

If you have no interest in an iPad, don't buy one. For me, it's not going to replace my general purpose computers any time soon, but its great for reading or carrying around while on the go for short bursts of work (SSH/Mosh with Blink app, RDP with Microsoft Remote Desktop, VNC with Screens, etc).
