I have always been a fan of mega-tablets even though they’ve been poorly supported and buggy (maybe I’m a sadist). Like, I started with the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro (which was awesome but also… buggy as hell)… switched to iPad Pro (which has largely been awesome).
I know it’s a ridiculous thing for the price, but I just love consuming content with it - browsing the internet, watching YouTube videos, reading books (Libby, Google Play Books), hand-writing notes (Evernote), occasional drawing (Adobe Fresco), etc… there’s nothing like it. Well, there is… normal 10-11” tablets can do all of that… just a little smaller… the Surface is also good for this, but it’s heavier. Light laptops are fine but are awkward, have way worse battery life, and are still much heavier.
I personally never use my phone when I’m in the house - I always carry around my iPad Pro. I love it for traveling - it’s insane for plane rides (offline YouTube, podcasts, tons of storage for offline books, etc). Obviously, all that stuff a phone or normal sized tablet can do.
I’ll say, I’ve replaced the screens of these mega tabs probably like 6 times it feels like (I always had apple care or insurance replace it, though). My current one has a crack in the screen that makes it annoying to type on, but I’m limping along - it still works for most stuff. That and the price are the only downside. I don’t know if I’ll be able to justify buying another one when I give up on this one… but probably will.
