I've been considering getting an iPad w/ Pencil for over a year now as a note-taking and doodling apparatus (too often I'll scribble a system diagram down, realise I've missed a bit, and had to start again thanks to the immutability of pen and paper). But beyond that, I don't think I'd have a use for one.

All this power sounds great, but I really don't know what else I'd do with it, beyond surfing an ad-riddled internet on my couch.

If any developer has a life-changing daily use case for their iPad, I'd love to hear it.

Content blockers allow for ad free (ish) browsing on iOS. I have found the iPad Pro with pencil an excellent tool for research (reading and annotating papers), and using Pythonista python based programming can be done, although more as a hobby.
