My Use Cases and Device History
I initially switched from a laptop to an iPad Pro during the final semester of getting my masters degree. I really wanted the smaller form factor of an iPad and the ability to use an Apple Pencil, and with my college work winding down I figured the timing was right. That was over 5 years ago.
