I don’t think so myself.
I wasn’t really impressed with the ipad.
I don’t think so.
As far as I can tell the Ipad is just a really big ipod touch.
it won’t be able to do half the stuff that a laptop can do.
I’m assumung he’s using school work as an excuse for wanting one.
An ipad would not be suitable for this
If you don’t like wasting money…

I don’t trust apple at all anymore
The only thing i will buy from them is an ipod touch and thats because there is no other MP3 player that gets even close too the ipod.. the zune is the closest to ipods and the zune doesn’t even have internet..
hi, i am sure you will get right information, this full fill your purchase needs, step in as per your specification and requirements , you have top brands with latest confg. just fix as per your work. just spent few min. for right one just in
laptop with design -features -performance- battery life -service & support – and more details before purchase, just step in
No way! I suggest a Tablet Pc if you want something with a touch screen….. Otherwise, get a laptop off of tiger direct with atleast 2GB RAM, an intel core duo or better or AMD dual or Quad core. then you would want 802.11g or n…. B is pretty slow but if it has b and g or b and g and n, you are good.,… Then you would want a webcamera…. The Ipad will be so limited and it would be just as good as owning a pocket pc… The unlimited data/internet on the ipad costs $30 a month…. I suggest you get a laptop or tablet pc for the same surpose… The tablet pc can be used like an ipad (even better) because of slate mode which most are capable of. I suggest you get Ubuntu on the computer for most functionality… Windows Vista would drive everyone broke and then start to work…
Don’t take the word of all us people you don’t even know. Watch the video, and decide for yourself:

The iPad may be nice for some things, but I think it’d be a lousy laptop replacement. No keyboard is the big thing — I’d hate to have type an essay into the onscreen keyboard. If you think of it as a large iPod Touch, you’d be closer to the kinds of things it’d be good for.
No it will not.
Summary of the iPad:
-You cannot multitask. You can only do one task at a time. If you want to surf the web and type into a document, you can’t. Listen to music while you surf the web? Nope. You need to exit one and then open the other.
-No flash support. Enjoy the web without much of its content!
-No camera. A $30 Tracfone has a camera and an expensive Apple product doesn’t? Wow.
-It doesn’t have an SD card slot. You want expand it from the limited capacity options that Apple offers? You can’t. Want to easily load all your photos and music on it? You can’t.
-No USB ports. You need to buy a special dongle and attach it to the iPad if you want to use any peripherals. Ah yes, that’s convenient and cost-effective. Peripheral support will also be very limited by its operating system.
-Doesn’t use a real operating system, like Windows or Mac OSX. It runs like an iPhone, not a laptop. If you want to install a program, a special iPhone app needs to exist.
-Apple wants to say it will be great for reading books and magazines, but it has a bright, glossy LCD screen. Meanwhile, electronic book reader devices use an electronic ink technology that doesn’t strain the eyes and can be used in the sun. The iPad is like staring into a light bulb… so great for long, focused reading. Also, electronic book readers can run on battery for days, whereas the iPad claims up to 10 hours, but probably has much less with mixed use.
-You need to lay it flat and look straight down at it to type on it. It’s not like a netbook or laptop where the keyboard is flat and the screen is in front of your face.
-You can buy a keyboard accessory — you can spend extra money to turn a low-power netbook-type tablet into a non-portable desktop computer. Meanwhile there are products like Lenovo U1 Hybrid where you can slip the tablet into a netbook shell and turn it into a portable, foldable laptop.
-It costs $500, minimum, and has a 1 ghz processor. You’re paying $500 for something that has about the same capabilities as an iPod Touch, but is huge. Products with similar specs and abilities as the iPad cost less than that. If you want the model with enough disk space and 3G to make it worth your while, it’s $800.
My netbook has a 1.6 ghz Atom processor and cost me $200. And my netbook has an SD slot so I can make the hard drive space as large as I want. And my netbook has USB ports. And I can do multiple tasks on my netbook. The iPad is a giant iPod Touch without the iPod Touch’s main selling point: it being small enough to fit in your pocket.
Fact is, tablets have been around forever and the mainstream market didn’t want them. Just because they’ve slapped an Apple logo on it, should people suddenly want it?
I would say yes if your son does not sit on it. Here is a great article about you may like asking the question is the iPad is a good chioce.
