As opposed to...?

The iPad, for all its glory, suffers from one very distinct flaw: It's very difficult to use for creation.

Wait, we did this one. This is covered material. If you're not going to do the required reading, Nick, the Macalope's not sure why you're taking this class. And are you arguing with ? She's an ex-con, dude. That may not be a good idea.

Many people find the iPad just fine for content creation. If you'd like to argue that a tablet supported by a kickstand at a fixed 22 degrees (no compromises!) and physically attached to a keyboard that no one's used yet is going to be better, that's a different discussion. But it is not "difficult" to use an iPad for content creation for many, many people.

And mythical beasts. When the Macalope journeyed to WWDC earlier this month, he took his iPad and a Bluetooth keyboard and managed to keep writing his column. With hooves, no less.
