If you’re in the market for a smaller-scale computing device, which one should you get: the netbook with its physical keyboard or the iPad, which has sold more than 450,000 units in less than a week?

That was the question for this week’s Web Faceoff, our weekly poll series where we ask you, the reader, to choose between two web contenders. This week’s duel saw the iPad and the netbook square off in order to determine which device you prefer.

After five days of voting and more than 5,000 votes, the iPad has come out as the victor. With 3,098 votes, or 55% of the ballot, it more than surpassed the netbook’s 1,969 votes (35%). Six hundred and five of you (11%) said that this week’s faceoff was a complete tie.
