I personally don't see the advantage. I have seen some professor's use them for power point for lectures.

This^^.
It's not a binary choice, "Which would you choose?", as stated in the OP. The only reason I have an ipad is because my daughter bought me one for Christmas several years ago. Had no need for it, but it has become my standby device for much of what's stated above. Use it a lot for research while watching TV, checking email, and also taking photos around the house. It's a total PITA to type on so any lengthy communication is done on the laptop. I could easily live without it, but it has become a convenient resource--a supplement to my laptop.
