Different people have different preferences and needs. I use my iPad 4 every day, for checking email, surfing the web, checking Facebook and Pinterest, viewing my photos, watching YouTube videos, storing recipes, reading ebooks and magazines, and other things. For more serious writing, photo editing, video editing, and music production, I use my Mac. For phone calls, taking pictures, listening to iTunes, checking the weather, and looking up information when I'm on the go, I use my iPhone. The balance is always shifting.
