I still don’t understand why a laptop wouldn’t work for most of those use cases if you already are carrying one. Sure it’s a bit tedious to use a huge laptop on a plane but a 13” laptop will fit on your lap and in your bag nearly as easily as a 10” tablet.
- TheHappyOddish 3y agoFor me I have a 17" laptop and the tablet is convenent in various cases (planes, media consumption, whipping out much quicker than my laptop as it's lighter, smaller and simpler).
- kredd 3y agoIt’s not about “you can do everything on a laptop”, but more of a convenience thing. My iPad is basically a dedicated TV/Movie screen. On the day of the travel, I go on apps, download a ton of stuff for online viewing and go through it on my flight or train rides. Sure I can do the same on my laptop, but then I have to hassle with the keyboard, battery, bulkiness and etc. Sounds pretty stupid, but I bought it 5 years ago thinking it was a useless purchase. But it significantly improved my travels.
- qudat 3y agoTablets are smaller than laptops. It makes a huge difference when traveling and sitting in tight spaces. Further, the iPad is “always on” so it’s very easy to use quickly. It’s really great for media consumption because of it.
- theshrike79 3y agoI can hold an iPad in one hand pretty much indefinitely and it’s small enough that is comfortable to use in cramped spaces (like a plane). Even a 13” laptop is a challenge when flying in coach.
