I would love an ipad to simply mimic a laptop. The form factor and above touch screen would make it my device of choice if it did. As it is, although I have ipads, I find using them immensely frustrating … every time.
Thank you. Amen, brother, I agree. I have three iPads. (Ancient 12.9 Pro 2nd Gen, Mini 6, Air M2 11.) They are sweet for focused apps, e.g., sheet music (forScore). But all of the note-taking apps have weaknesses, and there are no full-featured true pro word-processing apps with keyboard shortcut assignments and full macro functionality. I can edit photos on the iPads, sorta; likewise video, but then I end up copying them to my desktop PC anyway because the workflow makes better sense, with Premiere Pro, Audition, nice keyboard, and two big screens. I want to be able to use the Mini to churn words and the Air M2 for photo/video, but I can see a time when I'll dump them and buy a couple more lenses that will help me get real work done in my life as a professional photographer, age 82, 57 yrs photo-video experience. The iPads are cute kids, wish they'd grow up.
Joseph if I may I'm more of a Android user, but I'm no stanger when it comes to Apple products. For me the Ipad M4 is unnecessary due to the fact that (although you get daster speeds and better performance) the M2 and M1 can do the same thing as well. I'm still trying to figure out what Apple's going with this and what's limiting the tablet is the software itself as we all know its using the same IOS systems as the iphone and to top it up they're more proritizing more with the MacBook itself rarher than fixing the issues with the M4 of being a tablet/laptop. If Apple simply fine tune the operating systems on the Ipad and add some type of sodtware that can turn it into a portable full fledge laptop (like Samsung Dex) it will not only be unique, but it will change the game for Apple (Samsung did it why can't they). What are your thoughts?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but to just say the iPad doesn’t do either Tablet or Laptop tasks well and that the Mac does every task 100 times better is a pretty lazy take! It might not do certain traditional computer tasks in the same way as a Mac or how you personally like to use a computer, but it’s unquestionably the best and most versatile consumer tablet on the market today! For anyone in the Apple Ecosystem that likes to draw or take handwritten notes, the Apple Pencil and iPad are already indispensable tools that compliment the MacBook and will inevitably improve following WWDC.

Good question, the fear of laptop sales plummeting!

You got it!
