I just recently upgraded my 6 year old iPad Pro to the new M4 version. I use this as my 3rd device, mostly reading and browsing before bed, but also for some other things less regularly. I agree its complete overkill, but I like it because of that, its is completely instant in everything it does, reading books, browsing etc. A noticeable improvement over the older one even though the older was completely usable. its also lighter and thinner and the screen is amazing, and the battery is also completely overkill for my use case, I can leave it for days and I have already set it to 80% charge cap to extend its life. I like overkill in this case, its makes it a transparent device that completely gets out of the way.

  Thats all I need, I have my MacBook Pro for daily work with dual monitors and mouse keyboard etc. I think the iPad fills a somewhat small gap very well, I would like to see it do more, but am happy with it as is as well. I also like its longevity, this is my 3rd iPad, the original, the 2nd gen pro and now the M4, 6-7 years between each with OS support for the whole time and the massive batteries last as well, and transparent backup restore with each carrying forward my settings. Almost as good as a Subaru.
