      I could go iPad only. Since I bought my M1 iPad Pro, I've been using it more than my Mac, and if I had to choose between one or the other, id go with my iPad.

    When my MacBook was in for a repair, I used my iPad Pro only for a few weeks. It definitely grew on me and I realized it's almost possible to completely use it 100% of the time. With external display support, it makes it a reality.

    I recently sold my old laptop and got an 11’ M2 iPad Pro. I paired it with the Logitech combo case and keyboard, a wireless mouse and a 30’ ultra wide curved monitor and that’s it. It works amazing and I feel with every OS update it works even better. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn’t need specific desktop software in their daily tasks. It even recognized my Poly speaker for calls or just to consume media.

    We have 3 of these iPads for our family members ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Great apple product and provides the necessary performance needed for a basic tablet. No one in our family requires an iPad Pro, so this iPad fits our needs well. I’ve never had complaints on my Apple purchases and this iPad follows suit. Def worth the money.

    Just giving my contribution. Multitasking is not about cramming as many applications as possible on the screen by creating a mosaic. Multitasking is about switching swiftly between applications to complete a task. The stage manager helps to accelerate the application switching process by keeping the windows of the most recent applications visible and accessible. The application in focus can have the optimal window size for the task at hand, neither too large nor too small. The window size is determined by the balance between its content and the empty space around it. The empty space around the centered and focused window draws the user's attention to its content while allowing the background windows of the previous applications to be seen. This way of organizing the screen content reminds me of the importance of negative space to highlight what matters, similar to the concept of "MA" in Japanese culture. When needed, it is possible to have more than one window in the foreground following the same principles mentioned above. By the way, great video.

    0:37 the iPad air doesn't actually have thunderbolt support, which means that an way cheaper USB-C hub does the same thing. Of course a thunderbolt hub will work but you won't get all of the features and it costs more, only the iPad Pro has thunderbolt support

    I have a 12.9" M1 iPad Pro, a Samsung Tab S7 FE and a Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5. Of those 3, the one I rate best at handling external displays is the Duet 5.
    Not only can you choose where the sound comes from, but you can extend the display to the external (have dual displays), Turn off the display of the Duet and still use the external monitor and with multiple desktop, I can flip between desktops that focus on work, media, gaming etc. It even runs VS Code natively on my Linux partition. I paid $325+ tax for it, and I am always astonished it has more functionality with an external monitor, than my $1800+ tax iPad Pro, which didn't even have external display support 8 months ago.

    I appreciate your comments about getting used to the iPad paradigm. Any new platform can be frustrating while learning its pros and cons. It seems that many issues you've discovered involve the external display; this suggests that a laptop user without a large display would be pretty happy switching to iPad for basic productivity.

    My only worry is that iPads seem to go "obsolete" quicker than a computer. And with the price of an M1 and M2 MacMini, there's a really affordable way to use an iPad as a laptop and purchase a great desktop, which is what I've done. I even use my iPad for work calls so I could store my work laptop out of view and didn't need a camera.

    I was ipad-only for 6 years. It met all of my needs. I only recently bought a m2 macbook air for some specific use cases, but the ipad is awesome and more fun to use. ESPECIALLY with a trackpad. The gestures are so intuitive and make navigating a breeze. If I had an M1 ipad I might have not got the laptop, especially with the new update coming where stage manager apps can be resized to whatever size you want

    Great video man. As a samsung user its very very nice to see some real competition in the tablet pc space. I wish samsung would copy the "move app to screen/ipad" feature because you literally have to restart the app. I tried swapping to an ipad only for work (as a challenge) but it just can't do the things I need as a software dev (better sql apps, terminal support/management, proper file management (beyond just media/doc files), and other little things. I'm really hoping Apple and Samsung will start pushing each other to do the best for us!

I know I know, there're other notation editor apps out there & one of them's compatible + GtrPro. Apart from that, I'm not a pro/business user & am determined 2 streamline 2 a phone & tablet only system .. no "desktop". (Maybe, just maybe, it might b worth converting my old MacMini into personal server .. lack of on-board SSD might b issue). Have a Samsung smart TV which was intended as external (4K) monitor .. i just keep it off-line. What fun; a NYrs project build!

    Great video! I just started to use the iPad and monitor setup, but my Bluetooth Logitech mouse seems a bit laggy. Do you think I should get the trackpad or Magic Mouse? Thank you!!

    Do you still use the iPad mini 6? If so I would like the update long term used of it

    Do you use an iPad cover or simply a skin when not docked?

    Idk if it's my monitor or what but my ipad doesn't charge or maintain charge when connected. It's my biggest issue right now and Idk how to fix or approach that. I'm connected to a BenQ EX2780Q monitor via USB-C.

    Can you use an iPad on a Windows Dell computer?.
