    I’m considering an M4 pro. I tried the iPad for one week 😅 I installed all native apps and I used webapps versions of the apps I had on my windows laptop. You can’t code or script on a iPad, so for scripting I use a remote app to access my laptop, I can kinda live with is solution.. But there is one thing I can’t overcome and is very annoying. As far as I know is that when you want to download or upload files/photos from an app (google photos, canva, wetransfer etc) you NEED to keep the particular app active till the download is finished, otherwise the download will stop. Probably iPadOs freezes the app when you switch to another app, this end up to download all files again. So in my opinion you can’t really multitask with the iPad. It is more like multi-windowing instead of multitasking. I used an iPad Pro 2nd gen for this experiment.

      This is indeed one of the most annoying things about the ipad. And sometimes it doesn't even resume syncing files when you reopen the app, so under certain circumstances you can't rely on having a complete set of files or the most updated versions. and you can't move files from local to cloud, for example, just copy. meaning, now you have a file created "today", although the original had been created years ago.

      Yes, this is one of two things that keeps me from using an iPad full time. You can’t put an app in the background to keep doing its task while I do something else. The other thing is copying & pasting in IOS. Just selecting text in IOS is an exercise in frustration for me.

    I too have been using the iPad Pro 11” for the last 6 years, & feel the same as you do Fernando, time to upgrade, however I’m keeping this little gem. Updating to the 13” Pro with the M4, & if that gives me the same experience as we have both had for the last 6 years, I’ll be a happy little Vegemite. Sorry that in Oz means the same as a “Happy Little Camper!” Thanks, great revue!!

      Except.. I went for the 11" - again. I am carrying it around some, and also using it in my recliner a lot.
      Bigger screen is cool… but for me: 11 😊
      Good luck with 13😊

    🐬 Granted I don’t have a iPad Pro. I got an iPad 8th gen as a present and when my laptop died, I tried about 6 months to use it as my portable system. My main issues is that I remote to different OS’s from Windows to Linux and it wasn’t that great for that. My wife on the other hand can use it as her only system great. I don’t think my use case would have improved with an iPad Pro too much and it was just easier to get a laptop instead. Unless you really need it, iPad is probably the best bang for your buck.

    I have the luck having the Situation you mentioned for years now. A Desktop Mac and an iPad and I love it that way.
    Is there something I would wish for? Yes there are three things to make the iPad perfect.
    A MacBook class Finder,
    The Ability to run Mac Apps,
    And a wider Support for external Hardware like multiple Cameras.

    The iPad is Apple’s version of a Chromebook. The value proposition is not the cost, it’s the reliability and ease of use.
    I couldn’t use it for work as a software developer, but it absolutely works for my personal life: email and messages, ebooks and PDF, journaling and note taking, tracking finances, occasionally watching videos, scanning and filing documents…all sorts of things.
    I’ve also found that security conscious environments that would prohibit bringing a personal laptop to work don’t always object to a tablet.

    It's great that you've made it work for your use-case, but I'd rather a device that works around my needs rather than one that I have to adapt to.
    To me, the best portable computer I've ever bought is the Surface Pro 11. I use a Mac at home and it's great, but on the go, I need something that is portable, versatile, and capable, and unfortunately, the iPad Pro or the MacBook don't cut it. The Surface Pro is like both those devices in one.

My laptop recent got the Blue Screen of Death from trying to code and I’ve been using the iPad Air as a “laptop”. It’s okay, but for some of the stuff I use like photo editing and some quick video editing, I miss my laptop. Other hobbies like trying to start a business is a little challenging as well. But for running and maintain a Social Media account it’s not a bad idea.

    My main computer is my iPad and it works well for almost everything I want to do. It is the most ultraportable of my devices, except my phone, and goes with me everywhere even inside the house. My 14” MacBook Pro is far clunkier and harder to lug around than an iPad, which is the main reason the iPad has become my go-to machine. The dedicated apps are also better than the web experience for most things, though there are exceptions to this.

    The reason I bought it was two fold: First, I have enough data on my computer that I needed the 2 TB worth of storage. Second, I needed the 13 inch screen because my eyesight is not that good anymore. I am very happy with my purchase.

I think that combo works out really good for me and my personal use case, additionally my phone is a regular iPhone 15, don’t really feel the need for a bigger screen as I got the ipad. I try to not do much work related items on the ipad, just personal documents and content consumption with some very light video editing on occasion. I think that this version of the ecosystem really compliments my use case:

    Dolphin🐬. I can remember in 2011 I wanted to use an iPad for everything. I think it comes from watching starwars and Star Trek, seeing all those shows with people doing the most on a tablet. I currently used a M1 13’ iPad Pro not exclusively but nearly. I got to the office 3 days a week now, and those days I have a MBPro connect to a monitor as the main machine. But when I’m taking notes, walking around the office, and when I go home and will probably still work on stuff I’ll be on the iPad (Im on here now). I almost like the the look and feel using an external monitor with the iPad more so than the MBPro. Spreadsheets can be a pain on the iPad but still works. And I hate when I get forced into use the iPAd app instead of the web app in safari. And technically the MBPro is a work laptop, and the only REAL computer I actually own is this iPad. I wonder about upgrading but still holding off for now. Building these things nearly future proof is a win for the environment, but not sure that’ll be rewarded when most biz neeeds to keep selling you stuff. #TEAMIPAD all day everyday!!!!
