My iPad Prod is Fantastic for creation. It's a far better drawing/art tool unless I spend another $1k+ on a cintiq, it's a great video editor, really good music editor, and I even code on it a ton. It's without a doubt my favorite device. I have a surface pro 4, macbook pro, iphone 6 plus (soon a 7 plus), and my iPad Pro 12.9 in regular usage. I need all of them but for notes and art creation the iPad is the hardest to replace.

Interesting... you're one of the only people "in the wild" I have heard say this. I've long been of the opinion based on what I've seen and personally found that mobile (including also most tablets) is basically worthless for anything but consumption and casual communication, with a comment or photo being the limit of their creative potential. If I want to really make something I want more I/O bandwidth and a "real OS" where my data can be mine. Even less charitably I've seen the whole platform as one big dark pattern designed to turn users into passive consumers that can be transparently surveiled.

  It's totally based on the software you use on it. Some examples of great creative software I enjoy: Procreate http://procreate.si/ http://procreate.si/ PINNACLE STUDIO PRO http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/studio/ipad/ http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/studio/ipa...

I've been able to create full game prototypes all on my iPad. In fact the next game jam I do may just use my iPad. Pair it with a dropbox account and fast internet and I can handle almost anything a computer can, though admittedly it's limited in a lot of cases. Still can't do full releasable app builds on device for example.
