If all you intend to do is surf - an iPad is an expensive way to go. There are less expensive tablets out there that are just as good for surfing.

I have an iPad and the iPhone 5. The smart phone is fantastic. I love it and take it everywhere. My only complaint with iPhone is the short battery life. I find I need to charge it 2 or 3 times a day. The iPad is kept home and I use it only there. I find it awkward to take outside, or to even stuff into my briefcase. The iPhone is perfect for taking outside.

And, yes, you still need the old desktop (or laptop). While the iPad is very useful, it does not replace the computer - no USB port for one thing.
