Is it worth it to buy an iPad? Going to be traveling for first time soon (and somewhat consistently after) and hate the idea of lugging around my personal laptop when going somewhere (for the purpose of not being fully plugged into work and work computer 24/7)

We love ours. It’s the pro I think. Use it all the time for travel and whenever I’m cooking I use it for recipes or to have football on

I don't really get the purpose of it. The only thing I use my personal computer for is Photoshop, so if I'm going on vacation just my phone is fine.

Love mine. Workout vids, watch movies while traveling, browse at night, etc. I never use my personal computer basically.

I use mine (iPad Pro 11”) all the time — way more frequently than my personal laptop. It’s great for watching videos and reading articles, and especially nice to have for travel.

Just get the cheap iPad for about 300 (cheaper if you buy last year's model- they're essentially the same). I got one in 2017 and it still works great for reading, email, Netflix, etc.

I use mine all the time. It’s like using your phone but 4x bigger.
