  I totally get what you're talking about here. I have a GRiiiX and don't use it nearly as much as I'd like to. It's just too small for me and I struggle to see the screen in daylight. I did pick up a Q2 at a great price and am finding that's much more my style. Still small enough to take anywhere, but has an EVF to help with composition in bright light.

  ​@@shawn.hickman Dock overhaul - it's atrocious in its current state. - Move the icons from the menu bar to dock, like it is on Windows - in fact, remove menu bar entirely, it's a waste of space. - Make the dock span the entire width of the screen. As it is, if you don't set it to autohide and maximize a window it has giant holes where you can see the wallpaper, it's ridiculous how it's still a thing. - The dock also has that very annoying behavior where it doesn't show immediately when you bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen, you have to either wait or drag further down. Should not be a thing. - Dock should show window previews when you hover over an app icon, as Windows does. Saves you a click and is very annoying. Better window management - in its current state it is simply nonexistent. Working in Macos always feels like you scour through an unsorted pile of stuff. Trackpad drivers are very poor, pretty much any Windows laptop, regardless of price, beats it. My issues is that I like to tap, I don't like to press the trackapd, and Apple REALLY wants you to press it. As a result, right click tap works with a huge delay and only half the time unless you do some terminal magic, and tap-dragging simply isn't a thing, you HAVE to press down, which I really don't like. Finder needs to show you the root by default and allow full access to it, as well as all OS files. I want to see my entire drive when I open it. More hotkeys. For everything. Macos relies heavily on mouse usage, this only slows me down. Remove fullscreen virtual desktop and just maximize the app on a maximize button press. The X button should actually close the app, not minimize it, as of now, its behavior is completely random from app to app. Add a proper address bar to Finder as it is in Explorer. It's ridiculous how hard it is to get path names.

  Why not use obsidian , for notes, mind maps, linking of documents etc. also you’re a developer.. so code an app for a lot of things you want. For me IOS on iPad needs localhost support.. meaning i should have a local terminal or allowed to run a docker container on the iPad. I find it rather ridiculous that iPad Pro is over powered but not given much attention to allow developers more control.

  Ever since I graduated from school, it’s hard to find a good use care for my iPad Pro 11in. When I do use it, it’s to watch fitness plus workouts where I’m able to set the tablet on the treadmill. Other times it’s great for online shopping and just general Safari browsing. I’ve really tried to force myself to use it for everything, but just like you, it’s only filled a few niche areas, where my iPhone, Mac, and AppleTV can handle most other things. I’m considering selling my iPad Pro and instead getting an iPad mini which I think would be perfect for carrying around. Even the 11inch iPad just feels too heavy to carry around with a case and Apple Pencil attached to it.

  I bought an iPad mini 6 after a lifetime of using android phones and PCs. I think because of the size and the fact it stands out as my only apple product, it’s very clearly filling the role you’re describing. It’s definitely not capable of performing most of my school tasks as I use statistical softwares and the interface of a PC is just preferable to what I do, but it’s fantastic for being a portable tool for note taking, taking online meetings, reading, word processing in the go, and web browsing. I think advertising the larger iPad as a desktop/laptop replacement is a weird move. It’s definitely supplemental, but not a replacement.

  Great explanation, hobby computer fits great as the name for it. Of course I disagree that the iPad cannot be used for creating, and shortsighted view that it's for consumption is really tiresome. But I'm not surprised many see it that way - in your case you cannot code on it, and that is your creativity outlet as well. But you can edit photos, make drawings, sketches, you can easily create and play music on it. I use it for all that, though music more casually for now. On top of that I use it to organize my hobbies, running a guild, handling D&D session stuff, controlling the Discord server and other neat small things that come together nicely in one package I can take anywhere. I use my windows pc mainly, I have a laptop for work, Steam Deck for some random mobile gaming, and yeah, iPad is the perfect hobby computer for my use case, and for many others.

  The iPad experience becomes so much better for people who also own a Mac when they stop convincing themselves to try and use it as a computer replacement. iPadOS is intentionally limited whether we like it or not simply not to strike competition with the Mac and this has been Apple's obvious stance for a lot of years now. iPadOS deviating from iOS was simply a marketing rebrand and I learned not to expect much from every WWDC keynote since I will just set myself up for disappointment. It's also one of the main reasons why I truly believe the iPad mini is the last "real" iPad because it's not being marketed as a PC replacement to save everyone else from the potential frustrations.

  Thanks for the video. I don't think anyone ever inteded the Ipad to be a Mac "replacement". Rather an alternative... to be fair. Your arguments for your use cases are 100% valid. The argument for the iPad as an alternative to a Laptop is also 100% valid in other use cases. My use case: Browsing, Mails, Spreadsheets, Keynote. That's the main dish I'm cooking up. The side-dishes are all kinds of other dedicated Apps which sometimes I find better than doing it all in Browsers on a Mactop. I have been using the iPad Air 5 with Magic Keyboard for about a year and a half as my only "Computer". And I'm doing fine. I love the Mac too - and my Macbook/Air will never be parted with :-)

  This was an excellent video about how, you use your iPad. As for myself, I always buy the basic iPad model with max specifications. So, my current version is a basic iPad 9th generation with 256GB and the cell data option paired, with a Logitech Combo Keyboard and of course Apple's 1st generation pencil. Prior to the Covid-19 virus, I did zero office work on my iPad. However, during the many months working three to four days per week from home this changed and my iPad became a life saver, I used the following: Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams, Zoom, Webex Meet, Tele-health, and Photos. Today, while my primary system is an Apple desktop computer the iPad fits nicely between my Android smart phone and my desktop computer (smile...smile).

Study is also useful (courses) whilst I use my computer at the same time. Obviously photo editing too. I was deep in the Mac ecosystem but now I use iPad for creativity / study.
