so what do you use your ipad for?

[yang88she]

just about everything i needed a computer for.

It always has a charge.
Instantly on.
Grab and go.
Starts exactly where i left off.
Nothing to lug, don't have to fight for power outlets.
No cable management issues.
Always connectivity, wifi or cellular.
Don't need a backpack for textbooks and notes anymore.

For me, I use my iPad for about 90% of what I need a computing device for. There are a few things that I need a full-blown computer for, and so of course I have one for those needs. But I use my iPad far more often, because of ease of use, comfort and - above all - portability.

Looks like main use for the iPads are media consumption, communication, web browsing, mails, notes, reading books and casual gaming.

If i had iPad i would use it for these things as well, but since I’m used to do all this between my iPhone (on the go device) and my MBP (typing with real keyboard for the win), I’m guessing i don’t need one.

The only time\place i wouldn’t mind having one is on flights, when sometimes the MBP is not comfortable to use.

I do almost all of my artistic compositions on my iPad Pro. I haven't used Photoshop on my MacBook since I got my IPP. I found some great apps that do layers, special effects, artistic effects.

 

[xraydoc]

title says it all. i am asking just out of general curiosity because I just like to know these things

"What don't I use it for?" is a better question.
