Ok, you sound more like an apple harlet than a connoisseur, so, Macbook Air. Why? It's an actual computer. It can run all the approved mac applications - including Microsoft Word (because really DRV, why would Redmond cut themselves out of that market? ) and anything apple doesn't approve, such as...open source word processors like Libre Office.
iPads may be shiny, but you are well and truly blind to the federalist, faux-ethics ways of apple corp if you willingly buy one.
