I like the size and heft of the ipad - I never sit at a desk with a computer anymore outside of work, and feel like I thoroughly earned the right to that. But as a productivity device it feels like a straitjacket.
Love my iPad for making art with Procreate, reading, playing media, as a universal remote for home automation, games, showing photos to friends, looking up stuff of the internet, reading, for DJing.
There are no messengers, calendars, or communication apps configured on it. So there are no notifications.
I sometimes try it for productivity, but run into limitations quickly. It’s okay for editing a document for a bit, but managing files is already torture.
