General satisfaction on tablets question

sup dave,

I use a 5-6 year old Ipad pro. Works great with pen. Make sure you do get the latest features of Logos 10 though. It gives you more tools that works with your pen.

I can do most of my sermon/bible study work on it. I wish Logos included the counselling tool though. I also use the ipad to preach a few times, I am still trying to get to use to the mobile app but overall, it works great for me. There are many customization for preaching. Very practical.

I do recommend it. It does some time to get used to it overall. Especially if you are used to using the desktop app.

I use a 9th-generation iPad, and it works extremely well. I use it for reading, preaching and some note-taking.

You do need to be aware that you don't get the full desktop experience on the mobile versions of the software, though, including the iPad Pro. On a Surface Pro you're running the full desktop version, but on an IPad, iPad Pro, or Android tablet it is a cut-down version. I haven't been able to disconnect from the desktop version, as the iPad doesn't have (for example):

• Library tagging
• Collections
• Resource prioritization
• Personal Books (not a feature I really use)
• and a number of other guides, features and resources.

There is a thread somewhere on here that sets out more fully what is unavailable on the mobile versions.

I switched to iPad a few years ago, and have been very pleased overall. If the Surface is your only device, be aware that an iPad by itself will not be a one-to-one replacement. The iOS app is not able to do certain things that the desktop version does. I do most of my reading and study on my iPad, and I love the overall performance compared to the Android tablets I used to use. It's also lightning-fast. And the Apple pencil works great. 

If you can purchase a new device, I would recommend getting an iPad and keeping the Surface. That way, if there are features you can't live without on the PC version, you can open the Surface for those tasks. But you may find that it's rarely necessary or worth it. However, if you dump the Surface and don't have another PC or laptop, you might miss it.

Any drawbacks or cons? I'm assuming it's one of the lenovo yoga laptops that I am currently looking into. I myself am trying to be more efficient with study on logos while still being able to take notes and write on a device. for personal study I use the Supernote as a digital notebook with my Bible. I use logos for the building sermons or teaching resources, but would like to be able to have one device that I could study using logos, while still being able to notetake digitally. have a device like a tablet for reading is a plus. 

I am looking at getting a Lenovo yoga laptop as well with the hopes the pen mode works well in Logos.  Especially in using Canvas.

Have you tried that on yours?

Thanks.

I use the M1 iPad air and Logos works great, but as Greg noted, there are a handful of missing features. I can effectively prepare a sermon from beginning to end on my iPad, and have done so many times. Having said that, Logos is the only thing keeping me from completely ditching my laptop in favor of my iPad. The main reason is the lack of ability to use tabs in my layouts. The tabs make my workflow much smoother as I swith between different modules. If this were ever rectified, my laptop would be a thing of the past.
