On the contrary, 8-10 hours of battery life is not the least bit atypical for netbooks, which is what you'd be getting in the same price range as an iPad.

Making a comment about "most laptops" is broad enough to be essentially meaningless. Within the laptop market you have everything from netbooks to full-size ultraportables (think Macbook Air) to the desktop replacements. Battery life on a new pack could range anywhere from 2 to 12 hours. It all depends on what you're looking for.

And personally, I'm not sure I'd claim iOS as an advantage. At best it's a matter of preference.
