The only two professions where an iPad has made sense is for Doctors taking notes and Designers using it for designing. 
  
 Others are posers who deserve to get called out for real.

Frontend Engineer

Software Developer

Purchased it to draw, eventually used it only to watch content

Very afraid it will not increase my productivity but only decrease it by making me consume more content

Product Manager

Founder

Great for drawing by hand, animating objects, creating mood boards. Can also be used as a diary or a note taker.

Product Owner

I bought it for designing. Mostly I use it for illustration purposes, designing  wireframe rough ideas, taking notes and reading and entertaining purpose

Consultant

Tablets with stylus are very useful for free hand drawing. For me it makes discussing system designs over conference calls easier and much more productive. Taking notes and joting down ideas which are then available in every device you own is also a value add...

I do wireframes in FigJam on my iPad with the Apple Pencil. It fits into my workflow quite well.

Product Designer

If you do use it, please let me know how it’s going for you.  Would love to hear opinions of this community on it

Designer’s review on an iPad- Grapevine

Please give a productivity review on it. And how important has it become to your workflow. 

I have been considering buying one to take better notes, consume some content and use it for design time to time.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Hey Viners, I'm looking for some financial advice. 

While I'm not someone who spends impulsively, but an urge to get an iPad and begin taking notes on it is strong. 

My financial situation: I get 90K per month, out of which 50K goes to my family and around 25K is for EMIs and miscellaneous expenses. 

Do you think it's a good idea to buy an iPad for someone who's grinding Leetcode problems? 
If yes, which model is best for my needs?

I'd appreciate your thoughts. 
Thanks in advance!

I am looking to buy a tablet mainly for notes making and YT learning. I have 5’4 inch screen mobile so I usually avoid using it for notes taking or watching videos. 

Would want to use stylus for  📝

Tablet suggestions for notes taking

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey folks, 
I am thinking of buying Ipad 10th Gen, wi-fi, 256 Gb configuration.
Primarily I was thinking of using the same to study and do research around new technology for eg to read new research papers and all.

Those who are using it, is it enough useful, what are your thoughts?

This might just be style quotient and spending around 65k might not worth it, so confused here!

Any suggestions?

Is iPad a need or want?

Apart from babies and grannies, does anyone even use an iPad?

How do you make digital notes or scribble system design diagrams? So far I have used exclidraw but it's too much friction for me .
Can anyone suggest which tab /drawing tab would be suitable for my use case .Budget <25K

I got laid off in November so I bought a m1 mac air as I didn’t have a personal laptop. Now I got a job and I don’t see myself using this laptop at all. I feel like I should have bought an ipad as I lt can be used for writing too. 

Suggest me if I should sell it or keep it or anything else I can do with it 

Thanks!

Recently what i have observed is that I can’t bring too many notes copies while travelling to new place.. so im thinking of buying an ipad for Notes related stuff (im a fresher SE) .. and grinding alongside with fulltime, im type of person who takes notes everytime i learn a new tech or anything, which help me to get complete content even after a year to brush up skill. ipad air 5 with pen im planning.. kindly suggest if this is the right investment or any advice

ipad for Notes

It is available for 65k (8gb/256gb) on Amazon after cash back and there will be further discounts in the coming sale. Is it a good buy in 2023? My usage is mostly browsing, emails, and excel work. My office has PCs and we don’t work remote so I don’t really need it for WFH. Or should I shell out 40k extra and buy MBA M2. Already have iPhone, watch and AirPods. If I want to go for 16gb / 512gb then the difference would be 40k again!

Buying a tablet with as less budget as I can but can pay for utility

- Want to read (Mac plus android phone is cluttered)
- Basic design (canva) willing to try ios for procreate (I am a designer) 
- App design (flutterflow)
- Basic video editing (for Instagram and linkedin)

Consideration set
- ipad 9th gen
- ipad air (worth the money for my use case) 
- Samsung a9+, s7 FE, s6 lite

Decision parameters
- book reading experience
- money vs use case worth
- need stylus
- 2 to 3 years low maintainance tab

Anything else to consider?
