10 years ago, Steve Jobs went on stage to introduce the iPad to the world. By his own admission, the tablet has become a device from the third category between a smartphone and a laptop. At that time, netbooks dominated the personal computer sector ... Apple had its own answer to netbooks: a 9.7-inch tablet that allowed the owner to access the Internet ... the iPad was designed to be more convenient for music, games, browsing, email, photos, videos and e-books. “If a third category of devices appears, it will have to surpass a laptop or smartphone in all these tasks - otherwise there is no point in its existence,” said Jobs.
Most users just want to go to Facebook, check their emails, watch YouTube, and maybe upload photos. The value of Apple’s offer for these customers is as follows: iPad offers more convenience than using a PC or netbook to consume content and even create it, which satisfies most users. That's why iWork was featured so often during the presentation - Apple made it clear that the tablet can completely replace the personal computer.

I am shocked. Everyone can play their own or virtual instruments and create music on such a thin device that weighs only 601 grams. This is unbelievable ... This is not a toy. This is what you can use to do real work.
