The iPad? i'm sure that there are better product pictures than that.

The damned chair takes up too much of that picture.

That's not a chair, it's an iPad app.

Whut.  No sayl chair?

I'm not questioning its quality and performance but that's one ugly chair IMO. Is it just me?  :-\

That's taking iPad advertising to the next level of abstraction - don't even show the product!

Must be that minimalist advertising everyone's talking about.  ::)

I thought it looked a bit.... confused.

It may work if I changed absolutely everything else in the room, possibly even the house. Then I might be able to make it fit.

I'd prefer a 17" screen but Apple has phased them out. I know the resolution makes up for it, but that requires eyesight way better than mine. Size matters, so to speak.

The other thing that is a bit disconcerting is the ungodly price they ask for them.

The missus works for the NHS so she has a card.  What's the discount?

Apparently, for NHS workers, Apple only offer 2% on hardware and up to 8% on software. That's a little tight in my opinion, considering the norm is around 10%.

Perhaps they're short of funds?
