Yesterday I picked up a Logitech Combo Touch for my 5th generation iPad Air with the hopes Ill use the device more frequently. Last June I purchased the iPad and Apple Pencil with the intention of using the pair for Journaling and work. However, I find that writing with the pencil is too slow, particularly if I need to perform any corrections.

Starting this evening I will attempt to use the iPad as a convergence device replacing my A5 notebook, desktop, and laptop devices.

Desktop Challenges

• Replace Microsoft desktop applications.
• Replace Firefox for desktop.
• Replace Adobe CS desktop applications.
• Video Conferencing.

Mobile Challenges

• Use for Blogging, Micoblogging and Social Media.
• Banking

Analog Challenges

• Apple Notes to replace my A5 journal
• Using the Bullet Journal Method.
• Using Daily long form journal writing.
• As an e-reader and Reading Log device.
• General content editing.

Expectations

I anticipate that typing wont be an issue, but iPad OS apps will fall short of their desktop alternatives for anything but the quickest of edits. I also expect the hardware limitations and freezes to occur. I already dislike using Apple Notes as a journal replacement and hope to change my mind by forcing seven days of work onto the device.
