So I consider myself an apple fanboy ()and recently, in fact for my birthday, I wanted to buy myself one of apple's new products. I was between the new appple watch and the ipad, but since I am a student, opted for an iPad Air 2, instead of the iPad Pro 9.7 (I have a MBP 13 inch 2014 so no need for 12.9). The Air 2 handles iOS 10 buttery smoothly and I have seen that the pro just surpasses it in speed tests.
Almost a month after my purchase, I seem to have regretted buying an iPad. I dont know, but for some reason it seems like a "Macbook Pro vol.2" but a bit powered down. Can you point out some great things to do with my iPad? It is great for watching movies; in fact I just finished watching the first episode of a new series. I love typing on it landscape and checking my email. But all of that I can do on my Macbook and now I have rendered my MBP pertty useless, something I do not want to happen :)
How can I balance the use before my favourite MBP and my lovely iPad Air 2? (First time using a iPad)

PS. ❤️Apple
Consumption vs Creation.

I use the MBPr for creation and the iPP9.7 for consumption.
Mac = write code, papers, testing VM, Minecraft
iPad = watch movies, read books, research

My mac is now usually used for HTPC, iTunes, calibre e-books management and banking. I refuse to use wifi for my finances. But there are apps available to replace most legacy osx programs.
