Don't forget students. Heading to university as a professional who is employed full time, but I want my own device with minimal maintenance and headaches, as well as minimal distractions. Ipad pro has been a great answer.

Initial notes, drafts, watching lectures, etc is a good use case. Full document drafting in Word is pretty poor compared to the desktop application where I can insert tables of contents, references, bibliographies and integrate with endnote.

The reason it frustrates me is because it doesn't run macOS and I can thus do far fewer things with it. I bought it with that in mind, knowing that the trade-off was that it would go some way to improving my time-on-task with uni. It's been a success in that regard.
