I use an iPad for :<p>- read HN or Reddit, an app with reddit and safari with HN, it is nice to be on the couch and do the same thing I would on my chair<p>- play games: hearthstone a card game like magic, a tablet is the perfect medium for it.<p>- read technical papers or CS books in pdf, the best way to read rich text book with being distracted.<p>- a DJ app with spotify integration, nice UI, tactile feeling, and quite fun for parties<p>I had an Nexus 7 and I hated it, I really like the ipad last gen.
