    Judging a fish by his ability to climb trees. Ipads are great for taking notes or drawing, especially if you are on the fly.

    Apple does have it’s use cases so does Gnu/Linux. Stop being so simple-minded.

      Ipads absolutely are powerful enough to work as real computers. They’re just hobbled by artificial restrictions in their OS. Comparing them to real computers to point that out is perfectly valid.

        Exactly my point. Here you have a touchscreen computer with orders of magnitude faster processor, many times the memory but can only be used for Apple approved usages and you have a laptop past its sweet sixteen which can be used for anything you want and can be used as a fairly decent development device

        You can also buy them to proudly show an apple-shaped brand at your local Starbucks.

        Yeah then buy that but stop raining on the parade just because you don’t enjoy advantages of digital note taking 🤷🏻
