iPads with a keyboard are awesome at communication tasks such as email, IM, and A/V calls. Some advantages of iPads over laptops for these tasks.

* Laptops go to sleep when not plugged in or being interacted with. The iPad can provide sound notifications all day on battery power.

* LTE means that the communication lines are always open

* Almost everyone treats iOS apps as first class citizens. Skype on macOS is often buggy. Linux often has outdated clients.

* Instant power on

* Longer battery life

* Notifications appear even when the app is not running.

* A really sane operating system update schedule and procedure.

* A really sane app update procedure.
