The new ones are. You can take and upload notes, they have PowerPoint and Word on them so they are great for reviewing documents. Highly recommend!

@K1, I agree, but why not just host a VPN server at home and use OpenVPN on your iPad? Citrix seems at slower. OVPN comes in a Docker!

For years I used an Ipad for notes, but went to a new tablet/laptop that is similar in form factor. Have kept the IPad at home ever since.

Microsoft Surface for me. Love it. Have now had it for 3 years

D1 - Deloitte had disabled use of PowerPoint and Word on the iPad. Has it been reenabled? Is there a workaround?

Thanks K1 looks like high utility. I'll check it out

I don’t use Citrix. I use Jump Desktop. Citrix just makes one of the two mouses that can work in certain iPad apps, and Jump desktop supports it. I have OpenVPN running from home, but that doesn’t do me any good if I don’t have a mouse that can connect and an app to use said mouse in.
