&gt; I don&#x27;t understand the allure of a &quot;pro&quot; iPad. Wouldn&#x27;t you just want a laptop then?<p>A 12&quot; class tablet with a keyboard case is, I find (I use a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2), a very good reading platform (better than a laptop, since you can use it like a tablet without the keyboard getting in the way) as well as a decent laptop substitute for lots of uses.<p>Its not as good as a laptop for <i>all</i> uses -- and I still do use a laptop -- but its pretty much the sweet spot for me for tablets.
