I'm confused that they would use iPads instead of other more
'modular'(hackable) tablets.
There are a ton of tablets out in the marketplace, and soon to be many
more....
Why get locked into limiting functionalities?
That being said, I love my MacBook, so I'm in no way an Apple hater.
I just realize the limitations Apple as put on their mobile devices.
