For me personally, the iPad Mini is the best tablet I've used. Simple, small but still powerful. Light and not in the way. Very far from what any convertible is like right now.
what do you do on it?
I'm not a gamer - though i bought Minecraft mobile and play that time to time on my phone. I suppose the iPad mini might make an OK e-reader. But if I'm really surfing the web, the display is to small to be useful, and if I'm just messin' around, well I wouldn't be so that's out.

I ask these last type of questions because I'm trying to understand what I'm missing? Why does everyone else LOVE their tabs so much, they I look at them and yawn.
I've owned three and really, every one of them was really just a waste of money.
Talking about computer use on the couch - it's either my phone or my Ultrabook (Yoga).

@Dashrender Identical to my experience with them. Gave back the iPad I got from work, useless piece of kit. More room for batteries for useful devices.

Consume. YouTube, websites, email, alerts like PagerDuty, Steam, etc.
-
And books of course. PDFs, Kindle, etc.

@scottalanmiller I can see them being useful for that stuff. Creation you can forget about, ditto anything that requires a lot of interaction.

I work from my desktop when at home.
I work from my laptop when traveling (or when I want to get out of the home office for a while, aka starbucks).
I work from my tablet for emergency fast needs when not already in front of the desktop or laptop (I am in transit and pull over (mostly) to get something handled immediately).I consume from my tablet. I generally do not browse or watch or game on my desktop and laptop.
-
Places where I tend to use a tablet are.... couch, bed, car and, of course, the bathroom.

TMI, I know.

But true none the less. For more than just you I am certain as I fall in that category also.

I think it might be the secret, primary use case of the tablet. I wonder how many talks at Apple involved bringing up that use case as to why there is no stylus on their smaller iPads!
