Yep. I have an iPad (cheap, not pro) on my nightstand.

I take the laptop when traveling because who knows what I'll need it for.

Why a "cheap" iPad instead of a much cheaper Android tablet?

Because android ignored their tablet UI for years and are now optimising it for folding phones.

Tablets have been first class members of the iOS ecosystem for a decade. Even more so after the release of iPadOS.

Android tablets don’t get any specific APIs or special treatment on Android.
