Has some pros: It is light, thin, and has a bright screen (and what the heck is that retina! ), it has the sense of a quality tablet, there is a lot of free content, as well as paid content that is inexpensive and clever, and it has a lot of advantages. Got cons: Those who are not familiar with the apple will need a little bit of time to get started, but if they commit about half a day to learning about it, everything will become crystal obvious. The cost is a little bit excessive.
