Well I was talking about students in a general term, not you specifically.

My point here is, if you have a laptop with Adobe Reader, why go out and purchase an iPad?
I can see lots of reasons for a student to buy and use a tablet in lieu of their laptop: they're quicker to start up, lighter, smaller, more quiet when typing, etc. That isn't to say that everyone should do so, but I got the impression that you're questioning why anybody would choose one over a desktop or laptop.
