IPad as main computer is not for everyone, but definitely for me.

I bought an iPad 10th Generation last March of 2024. Together with it, I got the Apple Pencil USB-C and Logitech Combo Touch, which I think is the best combo for this iPad. I sold my Galaxy Tab S7 FE and my trusted old MacBook Air 2017 base model just for me to get this device. But why?

At first, it was quite uncomfortable knowing that I don’t have a personal laptop within my reach. I know that my workflow would drastically change. Yes, any kind of change is daunting at first. However, the switch has been easy because of the comfort that I can now access the apps I used to love on iPads.

My wife has a MacBook Air (M1), which I know I can borrow (sometimes without her permission) from time to time and log myself as another user of the computer. Nevertheless, iPad is my dream device to be used since my work entails a lot of public speaking, reading, and taking notes.

Why Do I want an iPad?
