Each to their own. I got a Surface Go (smaller ten inch screen). Not because I'm invested in the MS ecosystem (I have a iPhone). But I didn't want an Apple because I didn't want to deal with iTunes for watching movies off line on a plane and didn't particularly want an android device.
But perhaps more importantly I got tired of web sites treating a reasonably large tablet as if it has a phone sized screen. Some web sites allow you to switch to desktop view but many do not. Holding a high resolution tablet fairly close to my face makes HD more important than a desktop monitor farther away. But if a web site thinks it is a mobile, it may reduce the streaming resolution.
So I've been really happy with all.
If the web site thinks you have a mobile device, it is far more likely to make you download an app and register (and perhaps charge you) than the desktop site.
I was worried about how responsive the screen would be but its been fine. I got more memory but didn't pay for a cover or pen.
