You're getting pretty close to a laptop once you add the keyboard to the mix, and the killer product you then start competing with is the 11" MBA.

I'm voting MBA without hesitation, but everyone has different needs.

I get that, but 95% of my iPad use is as a reference/reading device and I really don't need the keyboard or the (comparatively) short battery life of a MBA for that.

On the off chance I'm going to a meeting or an overnight, I swap Apple's smart cover for the Logitech which is also a smart cover.
