I'd suggest you to go with Sony, not necessary to go for the top model, just find the one that fits your need. I don't think iPad is good enough to replace notebook for general business purpose. It's good for web browsing though, you can take iPad as a enlarged iPhone without the phone call/camera functions.
I agree - iPad is definetely not a replacement for computer and is handy if you go travelling and need emails on the go - typing on Blackberry or iPhone can be annoying.

I would prob go with Sony, but just hate Windows now... so regardless of brand, i will not use them.

no viruses for mac os because only about 5% of the world uses them so not point wasting time on making viruses for mac os.
better off making it for PC and mainframe, more money them.

it seems that the maid shares 50:50 with the maid company the 1month compensation and other costs
I have heard numerous complaints on the local maids. Some of them intentionally became slacking off just so that they are fired and then become a waitress in a bar / restaurant / strip join and get paid much better. Very few of them even become your bosses' wives !!

They are the fifth largest PC seller behind HP, Dell, Acer and Toshiba...

You make it sound like having only 5% is a bad thing... but having 0 viruses is sooo good! especially if i download alot.

5% is not a bad thing at all.
it is the 1s with over 30% is a bad thing.
if a company is doing good, the lower 1s always try and fight back.
you never know it could be the 5% which is making the viruses on PC

as always if there is no viruses then there is no money that why ppl make viruses on PC more to make more money and to bring out anti-viruses software.

this is why most of the anti-viruses company's are made for PC and not for macs, there more $$$ in this market

OK, I give up.....if good looking is the highest priority for "business use".
