Indeed. I use an iPad to make drawings for online lessons. It made drawings well when I got it in 2012, and it continues to make drawings well.
I won't ever upgrade unless it breaks or software updates junk it. Why would I?
It would be a mistake to view my reluctance to upgrade as a bad thing, from apple's perspective. I've bought two MacBook airs since (I needed an upgrade for work projects). The fact that the iPad is so reliable is one of the reasons I buy apple products without much though. So far, they work, and they last. I'm writing this message on an iPhone 4 from 2010. Still works wonderfully. (only because I'm running iOS 5 though)
They're just drawings to illustrate what I'm talking about, nothing fancy.
I use jotwithme, a whiteboard app, and an alupen stylus.
I'm actually planning to use these to make some online videos. I tried a Wacom tablet but ha no drawing skills with it. I haven't found a better drawing app that lets me project to the screen. It's a little messy, but I think in my niche (education) it actually goes over well.
Btw, bought my first iPad the year I started my business, when money was short. But it let me teach people online, so it paid for itself in a couple months, and then is pure profit. The ROI to owning it for my limited use case has been astronomical.
If you don't mind answering ill second the other comment, also, do you use a stylus? If so which one? I thought I'd try that out but I haven't found one with a fine enough tip that works well yet :-s
