How about an Asus Transformer Pad, it has good keyboard, somewhat cheaper than iPad, can use USB mouse, and as a tablet, you can watch movies and read books comfortably on sofa or bed. The battery lasts quite well too, at least 12 hours non-stop web browsing action with the keyboard dock.(more than iPad I think)

That is true, I just took a peek at Dell's WIndows 8 Preorder's Available and noticed that you can Pre-Order a Dell Inspiron 15 with a 15.6 Inch Screen, 720P Resolution, Intel I3 Processor, and Windows 8 X64 Edition!

Forgot to mention that it also had 4GB'S DDR 3 RAM.

i have both. I have an ipad and netbook 11inch. I find my self using the ipad more for viewing content. Movies, internet, picture, games, music. But I use my netbook for organizing. Now as for traveling. I travel international several times every few months. I now only travel with the ipad with adapter to charge at any hotel or airport.

For battery life both last around 10 hours each. but the ipad just makes it easier to travel. less weight by far. If you really wanted to get into making documents you can get a small keyboard and app and it still is lighter than a netbook.

Just to let you know that if you decide to take on the netbook, look for one that does not come with Atom processor. Those are freaking slow. You'll be regretting not getting something better.

My best bet is a Celeron or an AMD processor right away, which are common on 11" netbooks. You'll get decent battery life (4~hours) and the keyboard will be big enough to type on it.
