Depends on the quality. A download of just OK quality will be like 800MB. A DVD rip should be like 4GB.

Some other things to consider:

-It doesn't have an SD card slot or USB slot. You want to load all your photos on it? You need to buy a special dongle and attach it to the iPad. Ah yes, that's convenient and cost-effective.

-You need to lay it flat and look straight down at it to type on it. It's not like a netbook or laptop where the keyboard is flat and the screen is in front of your face.

-You can buy a keyboard accessory — you can spend extra money to turn a low-power netbook-type tablet into a non-portable desktop computer. Meanwhile there are products like Lenovo U1 Hybrid where you can slip the tablet into a netbook shell and turn it into a portable, foldable laptop.

-Apple wants to say it will be great for reading books and magazines, but it has a bright, glossy LCD screen. Meanwhile, electronic book reader devices use an electronic ink technology that doesn't strain the eyes and can be used in the sun.

-You cannot multitask. You can only do one task at a time. If you want to surf the web and type into a document, you can't. You need to exit one and then open the other.

-No flash support. Enjoy the web without much of its content!

-It costs $500, minimum, and has a 1 ghz processor. Products with similar specs and abilities cost less than that.
