Great tablet for media, games, school and anything else
Phone owned for less than a year

This tablet works for anything, from school, to games to web browsing to drawing. I use the tablet for Minecraft a lot and the game runs awesome. Also use it for school with the Apple Pencil. The tablet has a great operating system and it's very simple to use.

I waited 5 years to get a tablet, and glad I waited
Phone owned for less than a month

This cannot replace a Windows computer. At all. Transferring downloaded content from the web onto a computer from the iPad is a pain. There are definitely more capable devices. Now, for what this iPad Pro 9.7" does do, it does exceedingly well. Watching video, listening to music, playing games, web browsing, and light multitasking (calendar plus notes, or notes plus calculator, web plus calculator, etc) make this a capable iPad, but not the most capable tablet. The 4 speakers work very well to balance the sound, and have the best audio range of any tablet I've ever heard. They also get very loud with no distortion. Apple Pencil is an awesome tool for photo editing and drawing (it does work with a tempered glass screen protector just fine). If you want to replace your old iPad or have a tablet for entertainment and light "work", this will blow you away. If you want to download drivers for a Windows desktop, plug the tablet into the computer, and transfer the downloaded drivers over to the desktop, you'll need an Android tablet, or a Surface Pro 4. I haven't found a good way of accomplishing such thing with this iPad, but maybe I'm overthinking a rare circumstance. Anyway, I waited 5 years for tablets to mature, and boy, have they. This is the best iPad to date, and one of the best tablets available.
