In 2 months, I may have different projects or maybe I find an efficient solution on iOS for my needs (changing fonts in emails, using templates, using CI-conform signatures, ...) and I might switch for some time.
And usually I'm taking 2 or 3 units with me anyway: A dedicated reader, for now most of the time Kindle Paperwhite. A tablet, for now depending on the duration of the trip and the amount of luggage I take with me Dell Venue 8 Pro or Surface Pro 2 (both with quite efficient keyboard solutions), and iPad mini Retina as my "fun unit".

I can't use iOS at all for my business needs. So, as long as there are no significant changes in the OS, it will remain a toy for me. A fantastic one, but without practical "use" or real demand.
So I'm extremely critical about details on iPad. On Surface Pro 2 for example I simply accept the low accuracy of the pen, simply because I can't do without Surface. On iPad, some detail like that, would bother me way more...

I can't give up on my MacAir.Reason being? I can't run a SQL server virtual machine on my iPad. And to be honest, it would be weird.

So, define fun for you?

I understand iOs may be limited for some offices and work, but an iPad is fun to me. With thousands or apps, there is always something there for each one.

My traveling combo usually is: Kindle PW, iPad , MacAir. If I have to pick one , it would be the iPad.
