Maybe because you feel like holding a very light weight computer (because of large screen). May be because of using it with two hands anywhere. I think holding the device with two hands makes you feel more immersed and focused in what you’re doing. Usually, no one would care to carry his phone with two hands unless he is playing or typing in landscape mode.
May be because it is the first Apple device you got, or first Electronic device in general. May be because of your memories to that specific iPad. Based on my experience, there is no critical benefit for iPad for a blind user. If you can’t hold your laptop as easy as your iPad, you may try getting a light weight MacBook. Anyway, laptops can not be held the same way as laptops. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t provide touch MacBook to give same feeling and may be better, but heavier. That’s what I thought off.
