More PC to have a STEM vs non-STEM section or at least know what it means like in the case of aspiring STEM students.

If all that is true, then why does Apple state this right on their webpage:
In the first part of their marketing pitch, they highlight the importance of having a trackpad available with the onscreen keyboard. But then there’s no mention of a trackpad at all when they pitch their keyboard folio option, which the unsuspecting consumer might think also includes a trackpad — given the emphasis Apple just gave it as being built into the iPad itself.
Why mention that feature at in their primary marketing if it doesn’t matter to customers, and isn’t an important part of a customers needs?
At best it’s inconsistent marketing. At worst it’s a failed effort to address an obvious deficiency they understand is an issue for their customers.
It's not real time if they're emailing it to you. They need to be using a client app that uses something like multicast.
I'm sorry you're clutching at straws.Shortcuts (formerly workflow) - could theoretically automate away cumbersome routines given enough time to experiment.
Then there’s the ergonomics. For example, I can detach the keyboard and lean back or even walk around with the iPad and Pencil. This change in posture gives one a terrific mental energy boost, especially when compared to hunching forward to stare at a screen all day.
Plus, an app filling up the entire screen can help with focus without being distracted by multiple overlapping windows.
A laptop form factor just feels like such a step backwards at times.![]()
Just asking, can I plug in my DSLR, copy all the pics to the desk top then arrange them into whatever folders I want then copy them onto an external hard drive? The sort of stuff that the cheapest and nastiest pc laptop could do many many years ago?Certainly can replace a laptop for many people. All depends on the use case.

It's a software issue for me - not a hardware one.
The more I try to use the iPad Pro as a laptop and compare it to even a MBA, the more I want to tear my hair out. The device is beautiful and can do some things that a laptop cannot, almost exclusively with a pencil. Otherwise, its just a nightmare. The absence of true multitasking is a killer. Doing things on a computer involves a lot of small delay all over the place. The inability to go and do something else during those delays (and all the random bugs that arise when you try) is completely maddening and deeply frustrating. It is *not* a laptop replacement, and so so far from being one -- it is an (exceptionally, beautifully, amazingly) glorified piece of paper.

Unlike MacOS and pro level desktop apps, iOS doesn’t benefit from hardware advantages. Aside from the iPad’s screen size and stylus, what can an iPad do that an iPhone can’t?

Not trying to troll but what is"operational work"?What you consider "professional", I consider operational work (which I wouldn't ever want to do). In the end, you or I don't decide what it considered "professional" and what isn't.
People like you make me laugh. You have no idea how people in the real world work. In many industries and in the defence/aerospace sectors it's illegal to store certain information in the cloud - it must remain local and there are very strict rules around how that data is secured too.
We're years away from interacting with our devices 'Minority Report' style.
The iPad is fine for the average consumer, but it's far from Enterprise ready until Apple take the shackles off iOS.
Apple need to stop telling people the iPad is a traditional computer replacement until the software allows it to be.

USB-C connects to a lot more than Lightning did, and Apple sells a Belkin USB-C to USB cable so you can connect to an older Mac.I must join the chorus of disagreement. Kitted out with pencil and keyboard, the 11" model comes in at $1530 with tax. It's the price of a MacBook Air without the ability to connect to anything. Apple can't even sell a connector to let it sync with iTunes on a Mac made prior to this year.

Well how about this? If their design choice isn’t up to your standards, then buy elsewhere???Is that an attempt to shut down the conversation? Old Sam Harris quote: "We have a choice. We have two options as human beings. We have a choice between conversation and war. That's it. Conversation and violence."
And the negativity you criticize comes from Apple's ongoing intransigence on their partly questionable design choices and selling these as the future of computing, while leaving a lot to be desired. Not for all, but for many of us.
