You get it - I don’t really need another iPad or any other device in any other configuration - that is up until the new version of the big iPad Pro comes to market. I do my reading in the morning - with the iPad sitting on the kitchen table and coffee steaming. In the evening, I remove the keyboard, put on the softcover, and watch some YouTube, baseball, cricket, or an occasional TV series on Amazon Prime or Apple TV+. The newest version of the iPadOS has some solid improvements that have made me appreciate my iPad Pro even more.Īnd you can see that most of my iPad use during the day (and sometimes in the evening) is akin to a traditional computer - keyboard-based inputs, and very rarely using alternatives such as Pencil. The availability of alternative browsers such as Brave and Firefox allows me to use most of the services I previously used on the MacBook. The Mega iPad does everything I need to do - from Zoom calls to writing documents, answering emails, reading articles, watching videos on various streaming services, and indulging in Twitter. Big screen, big battery, great camera, great speakers, nice external keyboard, ability to use a Pencil as an input device, and most importantly, built-in LTE connectivity. Unlike many who find faults in the iPad and its OS, I am quite satisfied with my own device. I own a Mac Mini (attached to an XDR Display) because I use Photoshop to edit my photos. I switched my entire workflow to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. If you are a regular reader, then you are familiar with my workflow. After five days of using the iPad Mini, it became obvious: sometimes an iPad is not just an iPad.
