Hi all, first post here. Congrats to the site owner, this was the first site that showed up under the google search "android forum"
So first off, I work for AT&T. I will be winning a free Atrix this month (yay!), and will actually receive it likely at the end of march. I can get a 40% discount of any accessories I want.
Now I'm stuck between getting the laptop dock and entertainment package (mouse, keyboard, remote, webtop dock) for $475 after my discount, or the wifi only Xoom for $600. I have heard that the laptop is good, but not great. The software in the Xoom will be superior (Honeycomb versus webtop-optimized Froyo), and it will be a 10.1" touchscreen, but it will also cost me $125 more.
I'm sure there are more advantages/disadvantages for each, and if you guys could help me point out those I would appreciate it. Right now, I'm leaning towards the Xoom from a technical standpoint, and the laptop/webtop for the "cool" factor. I would have never considered the Xoom before because it's original price of $800 was outrageous, but now with the wifi model it is relatively affordable.
Any help would be appreciated! Sorry if this has already been covered before, please just link me to the thread if so.

Btw, I have an iPad currently and will be selling it in order to get one of these. 256mb of ram is the key factor for the switch I doubt the iPad 2 will have more than 512mb, and the processor and screen will be the same. No thanks!
