I bought my first and only tablet, an iPad, two years back. I havent't much used it since then. I bet it would be great for reading and watching videos, but the moment I want to type something, I just become needlessly irritated and switch back to my MacBook Pro.
It's not just typing on a touch screen; that's awful, but then I bought a keyboard. But using the Dvorak layout, Scandinavian letters and Japanese input in my daily life makes iPad just not cut it. It's not a flexible device like a PC is. I still haven't been able to type the way I'd want to.

- lobster45 7y agoThe aspect ratio of the iPad is not great for video which is mostly a widescreen format. I really don’t like losing so much screen real estate. Sometimes I prefer my iPhone XS Max to watch a video on than my iPad Air. I specifically bought a kindle Fire 10” tablet to watch videos. Everything else on the iPad is superior to the kindle
- eru 7y agoI use Dvorak on my Kineses Advantage (and every other keyboard). I tried dvorak layout on the phone and tablet, but didn't like it. I think qwerty's design of making commonly-consecutive letters far apart might actually help here? (Or perhaps the autocorrect is just much better at correcting typical qwerty mistakes than dvorak mistakes?)
