Mac Air is better deal than iPad2

In terms of price performance MAC AIR definitely is better deal than iPad2.

iPad2 is just an expensive toy, will be outdated every 12-18 months. Mac Air got 4GB RAM and large HD(minimum 64GB SSD), and much powerful/capabile CPU. The lowest configuration is only around $900, it will last 3-5 years without upgrading hardware.

There will be no issue about flash and jailbreak.
