Fair enough - everyone's needs are different. My iPad Pro suits my needs, but that certainly doesn't mean it would meet yours. I must, though, (politely) disagree with the statement that everything that can be done on a tablet could be better done on a laptop! Laptops have landscape-orientation screens which are not ideal for reading portrait-orientation material without constant scrolling. My main use of my iPad Pro is reading page-scanned PDFs and academic journal articles, and that's really not something that's best done on a laptop.
