I bought an iPad Air 4+Apple Pencil 2 recently, primarily for aviation purposes to use as an "Electronic Flight Bag".
However I have since then found it to be extremely versatile. Granted I do not use it for coding or accessing SSH. I use it for reading ebooks, taking notes and some light browsing. Particularly the note-taking is an extremely pleasant experience with the Apple Pencil.
I had an Android tablet before (granted it was a relatively low-end Samsung one) and it wasn't nearly as useful. I used it just for flying and even that was a hassle.
