I'm 24 years old, work in software. Neither I nor any of my friends uses a tablet for work or pleasure. I guess I know a couple of people who have Surface Pro's, but that's about it. I'm wondering if the appeal of these begins when you get older? Seems like a lot of the market for these is people who are 50+, but I'd like to know if any people under 25 are interested in them.
Way too diversified of an iPad line up, and that's coming from someone who really keeps up with the details. Also, hard to fathom that it took them so many years just to launch a refreshed iPad mini, just with a minor incremental upgrade. Glad to see it happened though, but it was a missed opportunity to really make a bezel-less, beautiful mini. I'm sure it will come around soon enough.
He unraveled the product line when he came back to apple and famously put up 4 quadrants on the board with consumer/pro on one axis and notebook/desktop on the other.
And "Pro" seems more prosumer, like the prosumer cameras with no viewfinder or manual focus.

- drawing and lettering in Procreate (this is what I do most of the time, I've been practicing lettering on paper before and this is just so much more convenient)
- writing notes in Notes app (that way I can see them on my iPhone) or OneNote
- browsing Pinterest (the app works better than the web app I use on Safari in macOS)
- YouTube (much more convenient to carry around home than my MacBook Pro)
I don't use iPad for messaging, because I mostly use my iPhone and MacBook for that. I decided I don't need a keyboard for the iPad ATM, but maybe that'll change in the future.
More and more I get the sense that there is a gap in the market for a device that ticks these boxes: Ultraportable Stylus enabled Fully capable desktop operating system Ports to allow hook-up to external monitor I wanted something like this as a frequently traveling and programming, conference hand written note taking engineer. Then I notice some of the designers in my office experimenting with iPads, Pencils, and Ma…
I work for HP so take this with a grain of salt. Have you seen the HP Spectre x360? I was in the market for something very similar to what it seems like you're after. I was completely willing to use another company's device if it was better than what HP makes but we actually came out as the best value for money. The screen flips around for a decent tablet experience, it has thunderbolt 3 with power delivery and a pre…
So far it's just a couple Chromebooks and a surface go that fits the bill. Lenovo had the Tablet 10 but I believe it's been discontinued, looked like one of the better options but impossible to say until I get my hands on one (nobody even has one up on eBay).

Hmm, it looks like I got the pro and non-pro lines confused. Thank you for correcting me.

When I move from my laptop to either toilet, cooking or the bed I simply bring it with me to consume some youtube. It's bigger than a phone, but more mobile than a laptop.

I got my first iPad a year ago, suspecting I wouldn't use it for anything (and I'm nowhere close to 50). Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong. It's now my primary device for: - Reading and annotating books and papers in PDF format (academic research has never been easier, I use a stylus too) - Mounting to a tripod and recording video (e.g. professional presentations, with a lapel mic connected -- again, screen s…
"Watching TV/movies while traveling (you can do it on a flight on a laptop, but it's hard in an airplane seat -- this is so much easier)" I have a Macbook Air and even with that, doing anything on an airplane seat is a gigantic PITA. The iPad is a breeze. I wanted to upgrade to the 11 inch but now will upgrade to the 10.5. Definitely worth it, just for travel.
Also when I'm on my tablet browsing news etc., time flies by really quickly without me having got a lot of things done. IMO if you're using an electronic device, you should aim for maximum productivity. Otherwise it's easy to engage yourself in low-quality activities without paying much attention.
