You pick up the ipad off the coffee table, then what? This is the issue with the ipad since it has been released. What is the value proposition? Bigger iphone? Clumsier macbook? I guess it sells somehow or else tim cook would have shitcanned it already.

I use my 13” iPad Pro M4 almost as much as my MacBook Pro. I’m typing this on it right now. It is by far more comfortable for consuming any kind of media than a laptop.

If I’m researching something and I need to read any significant amount of text I’m going to grab my iPad and find a comfortable spot instead of sitting at my desk. Even though I have 2 big monitors.

I also have a Magic Keyboard that I can simply pop on if I need to write any significant amount, like this, and pop it off again for pure consumption.

It’s an amazing device for watching video (the tandem OLED looks incredible) and I often use the pencil to sketch out ideas.

My library gives free Libby and PressReader, so it would let me read The New Yorker more comfortably than I can on my laptop of phone.

To each their own. To me it would be more annoying to read something on an ipad vs laptop because I'd have to hold the ipad up or prop it up somehow.

Same use case here. Wife sits on the couch and reads magazines from the public library on the iPad. She enjoys the form factor.
