> They're not going to buy a $1,300 machine to do those things when a $500 iPad does them just fine.

I think that this depends almost entirely on how slick it looks and how well it is marketed. Plenty of moms have MBPs that they shelled out the extra $1k+ for to take get on FB and send emails.

I'm not saying that it's _smart_ to do that :) but never underestimate the allure of a well-marketed product.
