It's great for watching shows on a stationary bike, reading manga, and as a drawing tablet. There's a bunch of artists that only use procreate.

- bigyabai 1y agoIt's a hard sell for curmudgeons like me with a laptop that does everything you listed and more. Maybe I'm the idiot, but you won't catch me dead paying laptop money for a neuter-computer.

- addaon 1y ago> there’s essentially (literally?) no difference between an iPad and MacBook hardware Form factor. Touch screen. GPS. Cellular. Circular polarization. These are all literal hardware differences between the iPad and MacBook, and every single one of them makes the iPad suitable for my use case (ForeFlight running on an iPad mounted to the yoke) where a MacBook would not be.
- bigyabai 1y agoYou can get a laptop with all those built-in, though. The only reason the Mac lacks those things is artificial market segmentation.
- __loam 1y agoHey good for you man. It's still one of the most popular drawing tablets on the market.
- bigyabai 1y agoThe sous vide is one of the most popular ways to prepare a steak. It still doesn't replace even a 10th of what my kitchen is capable of.
- NetMageSCW 1y agoBut an awful lot of people have a sous vide cooker in their kitchen.
- Miraste 1y agoI don't think this is fair. Of the uses listed: iPads are better for watching shows on a stationary bike, since they fit on the bike iPads are better for reading manga, since you can hold them vertically and iPads are clearly better for drawing--you can't draw on a laptop. There are some hybrid laptops that do these things, but they're bad at them. Especially drawing, I've used enough HP convertibles with "stylus support" over the years to know that.
