I’ve wanted an iPad since they were introduced. But, I haven’t bought one because I haven’t been able to convince myself that I need it for anything.

I've NEVER wanted one, I truly STINK at using any for of a touch screen, and can't think of a single reason WHY I should have one. :-)

If you can think of a reason to have,please let me know.

I’ve wanted an iPad since they were introduced. But, I haven’t bought one because I haven’t been able to convince myself that I need it for anything.

We’re retired. I bought myself an iPad as my Christmas present about 5 years ago. I was actually hoping that my wife would use it, and have less occasion to want to use my desktop. That actually eventuated - to the point that even when I bought a 5K Mac desktop, freeing up my old desktop, she never has really adopted that desktop. She preferred the portability of the iPad.

About 6 months ago I started hearing complaints about slow internet on the old iPad, so I took it to an Apple Store and got them to lighten ship software wise. Then I compared its internet speed to that of a big iPad Pro, and found that there was no comparison between the old clunker and the new Pro. I compared the heft of the two, and the Pro didn’t feel a bit heavier than the smaller model. So I got her an iPad Pro, and it’s all good.

I would never pretend, nor would she, that it compares as a typing platform with the desktop. Or even a laptop. But for what it is, it matches her usage profile and gives satisfaction.
