This. I've started thinking of it like this — the iPad, in my case, has an absolutely abysmal cost to usage ratio. On the far other end of the spectrum (and in a similar form factor if you squint) is probably my Kindle.
That being said, _some_ people I know consistently seem to get lots of work use out of their tablets, and I can't quite put my finger on where we differ.
- stillworks 11mo agoNote taking and Reading are my primary use cases. Goes without saying YMMV but it works for me. I had to hand down my iPad Pro 3rd Gen (the one with A12x Bionic chip) to my daughter for her school use. I got myself a 13" iPad Air (M2 chip) this time and Apple Pencil Pro (from Apple Refurbished store). The larger screen size isn't that much of a botheration as I thought it might be. On the flip side, the screen size is a lot closer to an A4 sheet and writing on it feels much better. I use Paperlike screen cover and pencil tips too. I don't have Netflix or YouTube installed on it. I only use it for Apple Books, Kindle, Notes and now Preview app is there as well. I might this time even use it as Sidekick and remote access IDEs running on my MBP but not sure if I want to do that yet on the iPad.
