IPads Instead of laptops?

Why is it that college students want an IPad verses laptops?

 For one thing battery life is huge! Normally a laptop battery last for about 3to 4 hours long depending on what you do. IPads no matter what you do u have a minimum of 10 hours! So you can surf the web, view videos and mailing friends, associates and colleagues for a long time without being concerned about being forced to recharge. Also it replaces the Kindle. You can  read eBooks, Newspapers and Newspapers. However a huge plus is that IPads show in color verses black and white with the kindle. And how can we not forget that the IPad is easier to carry and take along with you anywhere!
