This is why I am down with Mac in general! I don't like to look under the hood of my computer, I just like it when it does the things that I want it to do without endless reconfigurations and tweaking, and Mac machines generally do exactly that.
Johnny C:
the "doesn't know how to use a computer" is a rare species at this point, and a fairly elderly one - not really apple's audience. i've had this conversation with my dad, who doesn't really "get" the ipad and is extremely comfortable using windows. nearly every adult in the western world is at least familiar with the basic operations of a computer at this point, and unless apple's internal research knows something we don't (entirely possible) i'm frankly not sure that someone who knows what they're doing enough to get by is going to sink half a g into apple's new shiny mystery slab.
besides that, most of those adults who aren't familiar with how computers work don't really have the money to drop on an ipad.
David_Dovey:
There's a difference between "doesn't know how to use a computer" and "doesn't care how a computer works as long as it does", though. I'd argue that the latter is more the demo that Apple is shooting for here. People who only need to really scratch the surface of a P.C's potential capabilities, really. I'd say there's actually quite a lot of people in that group.
Spluff:
There's no real reason to handicap yourself with this kind of device though, even if you don't care how it works.
a pack of wolves:
Besides, speaking as someone who by and large does fall into the "I have no idea how my magic box of lights does things nor do I want to" category the ipad comes across as confusing, as well as being a tiny little thing I'd get a headache squinting at.
