I love my iPad Pro so much, this is a really great upgrade IMO. I'm sure I'll be planning on a way to upgrade. Only downside is that I prefer touchId to FaceId but I'm mostly switching back to a passcode in any case.

  I use it for nearly everything, it's simply the most convenient and fast computer device I own and I have far too many. Examples: -- Art: Apple pencil and procreate are the best drawing platform on the market IMO, clips studio on iPad is really close. I'm not a professional but I have tried and owned Wacom's (including cintques) and a Microsoft surface book. The iPad pro's screen and drawing experience is far better IMO. -- Music: I used to play guitar and still mess around a bit with it, also I've started programming electronic music. Garage Band, DJay Pro 2, and Bias Amp 2 are really amazing pieces of kit. The touch interface for Bias Amp 2 in particular is amazing and feels like using a real guitar amp. -- Gaming: Card and Board games, Pandemic, Star Realms, Hearthstone, etc.... are absolutely killer on the big 12.9 inch screen. Civ 6 is also an amazing game on the iPad. Along with a ton of AR based games. -- Reading: iBooks and Kindle -- Of course all of the standard social media and communications apps. I use the Logitech smart connect keyboard and it's very nice. -- Software Development: I'm an iOS dev and I use Swift playgrounds on iPad a ton to sketch ideas. When I do webdev I'll often use the iPad with Coda and a remote server and it's a great experience.

    How do you like Coda? I’ve been a Transmit user forever, so I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. With support for the lg 4/5ks I could actually see myself going all in on an iPad Pro for a home setup.

      Coda's tabbed approach took me a bit to really like but the app is really top notch in quality and functionality. Transmit, prompt(their excellent ssh client), and a really good editor are built into Coda.

    You should look into Korg Gadget, it’s my favorite music creation app for the iPad.

      Rad, I'll check it out. Thanks!

  Not OP, but with the same feeling. It is simply the best media consumption device I have ever owned. I bought an iPad 4 at the time (I later upgraded it to an Air and then a Pro) and left it almost untouched for months, then I started using it for web browsing, Youtube, Netflix, Twitch, e-books, light gaming... over time it has replaced not only my PC/laptop, but also my TV, for many activities. I do not use it for anything professional-related (maybe reviewing some document when on a plane, or an occasional ssh connection to a remote console), but the media consumption part is enough for me.
