First of all I think a tablet, Ipad or Android tablet, is not a real replacement for a good laptop or PC. For me its an addition and not a replacement, at least not yet.
I have an Ipad 3, bought it for the high resolution screen because I like reading magazine pdf's and my pictures look really good on it |

Having said that, there are quite some drawbacks. Android is much more open, you can do a lot more with it. Apple often forces you to do things the way they feel is right, whether you like it or not. You HAVE to use ITunes, flash doesn't work on websites, something I regularly encounter.
Apple makes really nice things, but there are alternatives that are just as good and usually cheaper, sometimes a lot. Only thing Apple really has more is apps, often the only reason apple stuff pulls ahead in comparisons. But even there you have to wonder how much of a difference that really makes. Virtually all useful apps can be found on either system but apps are more expensive on iOS, the same app often costs more for iOS than Android. And anything for which there is areal demand will also find its way to Android if it isn't there already.
I know my next tablet won't be an iPad, but what I find annoying may not bother you at all.
