Depends what your needs are.
The Ipad is good because it is easier to carry around (lighter weight and smaller size compared to a macbook) the ipad(2) will have a dual facing camera and the ipad has more apps in its app store than a mac book.
However, a macbook is much better if you are a student because there is no way you can type notes or essays fast on the ipad. Also, there is much more memory on a macbook, and a macbook can use programs like photoshop and garage band.
Overall, it's about what your purpose is for the device. If you just want a device where you can listen to music, watch videos, and browse the web the ipad is cheaper and much better. However, if you need more processing power go for the mac book.
Ipad has much greater value, as it can do all of the stuff (or at least the basic stuff) a Macbook can, plus, it's heaps faster because it's got a solid memory and and it's a 100% built from apple. People say it's got a small screen, but I think it's alright. You may have an issue writing though. But you can buy a keyboard for like 150$ so it's worth it. Plus, Ipad apps are really cool and really cheap. It's great for games and it doesn't usually freeze. No viruses for either of them and it's cool cause it's got an accelerometer (it understands if you are rotating it and where is down and where is up, good for games and stuff). Depends, If you already have a computer, above all if you have a Mac, I'd buy an Ipad. If not, it depends how much you are whiling to spend. It would be good to have both of them. Personally I think the Ipad is an excellent gadget and a must have for genuine Apple costumers, but the Macbook is essential. So really, it depends how much you are willing to spend and the quality you expect.

The iPad is made by Apple. Also, the Mac, MacBook, MacBook pro, MacBook air,iPod shuffle, iPod nano, and the iPod touch is made by Apple.
You would be downgrading if you buy an iPad to replace your macbook. I have a macbook and the iPad is nothing close to it. iPad is just nice for browsing, email, chat, and a bunch of apps. It can't do nearly as much as a macbook can. If your macbook is old, then sure, throw it out and get an iPad, but keep in mind that iPads don't have much hard-disk space. They range from 8 to 64 gig. Macs come with at least 160 and can go up to 500 gig.
With the introduction of the MacBook Air and having the newer MacBook Pros, it was time to retire the original MacBook for sleeker looking and better working computers. The sales for the original MacBook were aslo severely dwindling due to customers purchasing the two laptop models and the iPad.
Yes. While the least expensive MacBook is in the $1200 range, the least expensive iPad with Retina is $500 and the iPad mini starts at $430
Macbook, iPhone, iPad, iPod
No iPad uses iOS, and mac uses OSX
This honestly depends on what you're going to use it for. It also has to do with opinion. If I had to choose between the two, I would choose the iPad.
Depends on what you want to do. The Macbook Pro is a full fledged computer that can do anything you would expect a computer to do. The iPad can only hold 64GB of memory unlike the Macbook Pro which can hold 500GB. If you need a self-contained mobile device that can handle documents, photos, presentations spreadsheets and other common files, as well as playing music and movies, the iPad is a compact and portable solution. The MacBook Pro is a better choice if you must run specific full-featured software programs, such as Adobe Creative Suite, advanced features in Microsoft Office or any program that requires Adobe Flash, although you can work with many Creative Suite and Office files on the iPad.
If you have a Macbook with OSX 10.8 Lion and a iPad with IOS 5, you simply need to enable iCloud on both devices. When they connect to a wifi network and the internet, they will upload and sync pictures with each other. See the link below on how to do it on your Macbook.
I think ipad is better , but ipad is expensive.
