Well, it's obviously not going to be the iPad that wins in that case

A tablet versus laptop? I don’t get it. Apples to oranges.

Depending on the Thinkpad model it could be Apples to IBMs

I'm making fun of the fact that no matter how powerful the processor they put in (probably faster than most laptops to this date) they cannot do simple things the Thinkpad can.

Not true at all. The iPad excels at simple things and will do them much better than an ancient Thinkpad. The iPad cannot do specialized or complex things.
