One additional important difference between the iPad and the MBA is the option to add LTE to the iPad.
I've had both a wifi and an LTE iPad. The LTE antennae transforms the iPad into a completely different device, especially if you are doing ANY traveling. Even in town, it's very useful. I was in-between sites recently, and I was able to connect and do some nice work over a 90 min break because I had my iPad handy. If I hadn't had the LTE, I would have either had to find some wifi hotspot somewhere, or go back to work.
Instead, I had a leisurely lunch.
That suggests the "work" required wasn't too demanding, and didn't involve much typing or editing!
I like the idea of people in Health Care, Physicians, using iPads. The way they scribble, and the minor amount of lengthy typing that would be required anyway, it could be a real advancement in office management. Similarly, Airline crews are replacing gigantic heavy manuals and documents they used to have to lug around, with the nearly weightless by comparison iPad. It really does have a role in the workplace that's well suited to something an iPad does very well.
