I would argue that the typical reader at hacker news is not the target audience for iPad. Think young children and grandparents. My elderly mother loves her ipads. She has three of them. She can watch youtube on them, check email, chat apps, play music, control her TV. My preschool nieces and nephews love the iPad similarly for youtube and games. iPads are the easiest to use computers for people who are, for one reason or another, functionally computer-illiterate.

I like to consider myself computer literate but absolutely hate using a computer other than when somebody’s paying me to do it. At home it’s 100% iPad Pro or Kindle for my screen time.

Having an older iPad Pro has prevented me from buying a laptop. It’s just so easy to crack it open (with Brydge keyboard) and do whatever I need. Anything to prevent me from having to sit in front of my actual PC is good for me.

Sure for the iPad, but what about the iPad Pro? What's the point of that product when the iPad non-Pro easily fulfills the computer-illiterate sector.
