I have traveled quite extensively in the last couple of years. From trip to trip, most of my itinerary and belongings changed, apart from one device that has been a constant.

It’s my 2019 Apple iPad Pro 12.9”.

I have used this device the most amongst everything I own. It has proven to be insanely versatile and a productivity workhorse.

The most striking feature of the iPad, and what makes it the best device for traveling, is its versatility. No matter what you want to get done, the iPad should be the only device you will need.

In this blog, I go through the different features of my iPad that make it the best travel companion.

Compact, Minimal & Easy to Carry

The most important feature of any travel item is its portability. Especially when you have multiple stops and want to pack light for convenience, the size and weight of your items become the biggest bottleneck.

The iPad shines in that.

Even at 12.9”, this device is extremely portable and easy to carry. It’s just a slab of metal without any weird protrusions. The shape makes it perfect to carry around easily.

You can easily use it on planes, trains, buses, hotel rooms, and cafes.
