However, that said, someone like me has the option of choosing to work on a MacBook instead of an iPad.

And again this is not to say that I cannot do my daily work on the 2021 iPad Pro, I absolutely can - I just prefer some more room on my keyboard. The whole typing experience feels a tad cramped. Also, the trackpads on the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air are bigger than the one on the Magic Keyboard, obviously. I can and have edited and written content on the iPad as well and it works flawlessly, but if I have to stare at a screen for 9 hours a day, it's more comfortable if it's a bigger one. I prefer the MacBook Pro or even the MacBook Air when it comes to daily work simply because the screen is bigger and it is easier to read and edit content there. But do I really want to do that?Īlong with the Magic Keyboard, the 2021 iPad Pro is a good option to consider if you are on the lookout for something more portable than a laptop. However, when I really asked myself the question about replacing my MacBook with this iPad the answer wasn't straightforward. Almost everything you use on your M1 Mac, you will be able to use on your M1 iPad. An iPad with M1 will be appropriately put to task when you are editing and exporting 4K videos, or creating content on the tab like music or videos and, it should be able to expedite it all faster.Īpple also has its developers adapting their apps to the M1, which is good for iPad users - particularly those who are actually looking to replace their laptops with the tablet.

To be honest, that's the only difference one can spot here since, well, none of these tasks are exactly ‘heavy duty'. Now, the older iPad Pro could easily handle all of this without breaking a sweat, and the 2021 iPad Pro does too, but it just feels a tad smoother and faster. In non-work hours, I play games like Sky: Children of Light. For example, my daily work involves mostly dealing with Google Docs, a proprietary Content Management System (CMS), some rudimentary photo editing, web browsing, and social media.
