My android works pretty much like a laptop. I only use either for displaying lyrics in MS or text format, for playing MP3s on break and for midi play JUST IN CASE my arranger crashes sometime.
Both have their advantages. Weight and display go to the Pad. Sorting and multitasking go to the laptop.
No wrong choices these days.
For what it's worth, I much prefer the Android to my wife's 2nd generation Ipad.
