I hardly ever use my iPad and I'm not completely sure why. The convenience of the phone is certainly one factor but I also think the way I approach using the larger device is a big part of it.

@colinwalker I don’t think I would use my iPad nearly as much if I didn’t have an external keyboard for it. With that attached it is truly an excellent writing machine.

@benedwards I’ve definitely not been utilising it properly. The keyboard will definitely help.

@colinwalker I agree with @benedwards. When my iPad was attached to a keyboard, I hardly ever used it due to the heavier look and feel. I've freed it and started using it exclusively for reading. I read on the Kindle and my wife reads PDFs on it. Much more use that way.

But my experience is different because it's an iPad Mini. YMMW with and iPad Air 2 due to the size.

@nitinkhanna I have been using my iPad Pro 1 Gen since it came out as my main device. Yes, for most part I had Apple keyboard cover attached to it. With that, I realized I have hardly been using Apple pencil with it. So I removed the keyoard cover about 6 months ago. Since then I have been using the iPad even more. As a result though, it has been seldom, I even open the lid of my brand new MacBook I purchased in December last year.

@sumudu prolly not. You could have bought a slightly older one with more standard ports. 🙄

@nitinkhanna @benedwards I intend to use it primarily as a writing device so the extra size/weight doesn’t actually matter n that regard.
