Best Buy Has Every M4 iPad Pro on Sale With Multiple Record Low Prices for Members

They are correctly referring to the still gimped OS and software support

Correct, and to try and get an iPad to mimic a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro will cost that person a lot of money. At that point it's just better to buy a Macbook. The OS holds back the hardware. That's why I said that for me buying an M2 iPad Air was a no-brainer vs buying an M4 iPad Pro. The OS is basically the same on both and it's basically the same on a 9th or 10th gen iPad.

Oh you are right for sure about the OS, but best thing to do with a M powered iPad is to use it to its strengths and not mimic a Macbook.

iPads are not just large iPhones anymore, they have evolved into compact desktop computing devices. This one has a more powerful SoC than any Mac available right now.

Actually that’s not entirely true. They still run on a mobile OS. They might have the power of a computer but they don’t have the software to make it a computing device or take full advantage of the power.
