I use an iPad exclusively at home on a couch/in bed. It's really great for low effort media consumption/web browsing, but I couldn't imagine bringing it with me somewhere instead of just taking a laptop. Even for media consumption on a train or airplane, I prefer a laptop because of it being easier to prop up in a cramped space.
- nottorp 3y agoYep. I have an iPad (cheap, not pro) on my nightstand. I take the laptop when traveling because who knows what I'll need it for.
- throwaway2037 3y agoWhy a "cheap" iPad instead of a much cheaper Android tablet?
- Zetobal 3y agoBecause android ignored their tablet UI for years and are now optimising it for folding phones.
- nottorp 3y agoBecause it's been working just fine(tm) for at least 5 years. Maybe more, i forgot how old it is.
- theshrike79 3y agoTablets have been first class members of the iOS ecosystem for a decade. Even more so after the release of iPadOS. Android tablets don’t get any specific APIs or special treatment on Android.
