Far easier to use it to surf the web than a hulking overheating laptop.
I use mine for a far more specific task. My parents have a device called EyeTV in their house 2000 miles from my house. It's connected to their cable. Using the EyeTV app on my iPad, i can watch any normal cable channel from their house directly over the internet. Add in the fact that i have an AppleTV2, and i can then airplay said channels straight to my TV. This comes in handy when i would like to watch Red Wings hockey games since i live in Arizona and i obviously dont get their broadcasts here.
Otherwise, it makes a nice device to watch Netflix on that doesn't clog up my screen and resources on my laptop when trying to accomplish other tasks.
