Some people think it’s wild to use an iPad as a primary machine, but hear me out. This 256 GB iPad Air 5 (yep, the pink one) powers almost everything I do. Here’s a quick rundown of how I use it every day.

What I Use the iPad for:

From time blocking and social media to content creation, this iPad does it all. I use it for watching movies, writing my blogs and book, Zoom calls, eBooks, gaming, and even market analysis. When it comes to digital art, I sketch, doodle, and design wallpapers. I also manage emails, PDFs, and yes—I code on this thing.

If you want more details on my workflow, let me know. I’d love to share how it can replace your setup too.

iPad vs. Laptop: What’s the Difference?

What truly makes a laptop? For me, it’s the operating system. Laptops run full desktop OSes, but the iPad with iPadOS is catching up. While you can’t install third-party apps like on a Mac, it’s getting closer to laptop-level functionality, especially if your work is cloud-based. The flexibility between touch, typing, and the Apple Pencil is where the iPad shines.

The Downsides

Of course, it’s not perfect. Accessories like the Apple Pencil and keyboard make the iPad as pricey as a laptop. And coding can be tricky without a native terminal, leaving you reliant on online tools like Codespaces.

In a Nutshell

Why stick with the iPad? For me, it just makes sense. Whether for portability, power, or versatility, the iPad Air 5 hits the right balance. It’s what Steve Jobs envisioned: a device that brings simplicity and functionality together. Stay tuned.
