It is simply the best media consumption device I have ever owned.
I bought an iPad 4 at the time (I later upgraded it to an Air and then a Pro) and left it almost untouched for months, then I started using it for web browsing, Youtube, Netflix, Twitch, e-books, light gaming... over time it has replaced not only my PC/laptop, but also my TV, for many activities.
I do not use it for anything professional-related (maybe reviewing some document when on a plane, or an occasional ssh connection to a remote console), but the media consumption part is enough for me.
