    It has a I-7 processor in it.
    I hate slow computers.
    Thought the power supply is the transformer that has a cord and plugs into it.
    Am I thinking wrong.

    ipads are nice, the new one is smaller, so you might not care
    for the smaller screen, get one with the 3g connection option,
    you can turn it on when travelling, makes one mega gps..

    You'll eventually wish you had gone 3G we got two, one with it, one without
    you can buy 3G only when you need it so it's not a monthly bill so it acts like
    WiFi only when at home.

    The wifi one never leaves the house but the 3G does, used it on a bike trip,
    pull it out and it would get signal when the phones wouldn't.

    Pull up map, check out trip route,check emails etc, with 3G in buttfartnowhere GA we
    could get info we needed. Try and find wi-fi at the dew drop inn located in lastbuffalofart Tx...

    Not having 3g is like having to take a bad dump in the desert with
    no toleit paper an only a sticky cactus around to wipe your ass...
    eventually you'll wish you'd gotten the 3G (brought the TP)

    Mine is WI FI but my IPhone is 3G and take that on trips with me. Works just like a IPad and photos transfer themselves to the IPad when I'm back. I get all the latest news from BikeTalk with it and post messages with the IPone.

    They'll work you to a frazzle if you let 'em. My job is 1 walking minute away from home. Save a lot on gas!

    BTW, my old Toshiba laptop crashed several days ago and now I have a hand me down Dell laptop with Windows Vista. It's a little faster, but I can't figure out how to get pictures on Bike Talk yet. Everything's different.:confused:
