> Note-taking/drawing with the Pencil is good, but is it better than a $2 pen and notepad? Not really. Sure, if you use it exactly like a paper notepad it's not going to bring much value. You buy an iPad Pro if you want the 120Hz screen and/or pencil hover feature, which artists are quite fond of. Or just get a cheap Wacom tablet with USB for $50 or less and you can take notes on the laptop directly. > I hate everything about iPadOS Does this person ever look at reviews before spending almost $2000 on a new device? What iPad OS can and can't do isn't a secret. Though I agree it would be a game-changer to get full desktop Mac OS on that thing.

> > I hate everything about iPadOS > Does this person ever look at reviews Forget reviews, the iPad has been out for 13 years and the capabilities haven’t changed much since then. You’d have to have lived under a rock to not know what it can and can’t do. Did they have an android phone?

Before I gave in and just bought the iPad I bought one of those two-in-one laptops that you can use like a tablet thinking, well, this is even better, I can use this for both. Of course in reality it was awkward to use as a tablet and Windows isn’t that suited for it so I never actually did that and didn’t use it as much as I planned. The iPad I use all the time. I’m sure that’s part of the reason they don’t try to get Mac OS on the iPad (though yeah, not cannibalizing sales is also welcome).

Paper notepad features infinite Hz so 120Hz is not good example for pros.

  Paper also doesn't have undo, layers, precise control over colors and brush sizes, zoom, file sync, etc. Features that are evidently more important to countless professionals than a <10ms difference in perceptible latency.
