Hi Mary, I would go with the Mac. It’s pretty intuitive and for what you want to do you could learn that in a few minutes judging by your skill and sharpness demonstrated on list. Text edit is very easy to use and you could have the mac in sleep mode, wake it up and be right in text edit removing a lot of the pre navigation. The IPAD isn’t bad but bluetooth isn’t it’s native environment. As you said you could get in to the weeds. +1 on the Mac for ease of use from me.
