It comes down to what you want to do with your tablet.

I want to replace paper books and notebooks. The iPad is unrivalled for that. If I need a machine to type on, I need a full OS on a full laptop. I just pack both.



I think the iOS experience is great at first but starts to break down very fast as soon as you want it to interact with your selfhosted world.

There still isnt an easy way to give an ipad an SSH identity and sync arbitrary folders for example.


This is fine for me. My iPad is a mostly disconnected device on purpose. It's truly just a notebook.
