Battery life is huge.

It doesn't have a optical drive, but I use my laptop to rip DVDs to a folder the put them on a USB HDD.
Really want something a bit more responsive than a netbook.

I opted for the iPad over a basic netbook before the summer and I've never looked back. For content consumption a tablet is a far superior option to any kind of laptop and is very easy to carry around (although Mrs T. bought me a Joey-style manbag for it as she was fed up of always having to have it in her handbag ).
I really don't want to be spending time converting the movies, I just want to copy them over and play.
