Tablets or netbooks, how do you feel about them?

For the last week I have been in a dilemma that I may never get out of, I need a light computer, for text editing, browsing, netflix, a bit of coding and a slathering of image stuff.

I have an iPhone so the tablet, naturally would be an iPad 2. However, then again there are those Macbook airs.. or perhaps an iPad and a cheap netbook. They all do what I want, assuming a jailbreak or two, they all say there the future and they all have there good and bad sides.

Can the fine fluthering fellows (and she-fellows) help, which do you like more and why.
