Thoughts on iPad Mini 7

I was going to purchase an ultimate productivity porn device combining reading, note taking and handwriting workflows: See also: Handwritten Note Taking References. Devices, Workflows & Software.

Use cases

  • Note-taking via Obsidian
  • ChatGPT chats
  • Books
  • Articles from the backlog

Carry on

iPad mini won't fit my sling bag. So I will either need a larger sling bag or the backpack is the way to go. That's weird because if take a backpack then I can take my whole laptop workstation with me without any need for the iPad.

Alternatives

  • ReMarkable
    • Paper Pro
    • Remarkable 2
  • Boox
    • Note Air 4c
    • Boox Tab Ultra C Pro
  • Supernote
    • A6X2 Nomad
    • A5X2 Manta
  • Kindle
    • Scribe
    • Colorsoft
  • Viwoods
    • AI paper
