re: Are macs really that much better than windows pc’s?

The iPad Pro is great but I've been mostly unsuccessful putting it to consistent work for me. I use it to browse the internet as an alternative to my 16 inch MBP. I use it for some handwritten notes although I often revert to paper. I use it as a travel computer (for vacations) where I may have to do some work but nothing too serious. I think I once banged out a lengthy brief on it while abroad but it was a pain.

Some people will swear it can pull true double duty but I don't really see how. You need a table IMO and even then it's awkward for serious writing. I do like it, but it's more or less a luxury piece for me that I look for ways to use (rather than something that is essential to my workflow/life).

I will say it is by far the best handwriting experience I've had, having previously used a Surface Pro and some Samsung devices.
