I am a senior and a techie all my life.

I think that if it were simpler, I'd be less inclined to do more with it than it is actually useful for.

In particular.

Selecting anything is a struggle. No exceptions. And selecting more than one screenful is a horror.

Scrolling often clicks on something I didn't want to click. And just try grabbing that invisible scroll bar.

Any auto correct or suggest is ludicrous. I had to kill them all.

Swipe text refuses to type "and". I get Anna's or Ava ( that was a live demo) regularly.

Searching for an image is good for laughs, except for ocr'ed text.

Paste? HOLEY MOLEY. Any "action after a delay" infuriates me, especially when it's hit-or-miss. Give me a paste button!

These are "99%" things, not outlying operations.

Disclaimer: the ipad with keyboard case, trackpad, pencil, ARROW KEYS!!!, and BT mouse is better. Almost a laptop, but right/control click is NOT macos like.

Okay, enough rant. It's basically the clumsiness, compared to the precision of a desktop, that gets me.

Advantage? I can use it on the easy chair in the living room.

No $1800 computer chair. The desktop is harder on my anatomy.

Just to say that some "features" stink regardless of user age, though no doubt harder in seniors. I figure out one of the 140,000 obscure options/tricks via internet search, something that decades of experience helps me do, but especially in recent years, is next to useless for normal people.

And! When switching apps, more often than not, safari loses all my typing in a text area!!!

I lucked out this time.
