I have an iPad, and an Acer AO721 Netbook with W7HPx64, and when I travel I prefer the Acer because I can do absolutely everything with it, heck it even has a camera (for Skype), for less than $300 bucks. Well, OK I put an SSD in it, and bought a small wireless mouse, but it's very cool and has a nice 1366x768 screen.
The ipad is fun for sitting on the sofa and catching-up with the day's events. The netbook is a real computer and all that implies. Your answer is "it depends". It depends on what you want/need to do with it.
