iPad Pro iPad 13 Pro vs MacBook Air in addition to Mac mini

So I worked from home 3 days a week and go into the office for two. Been testing out the IPAD 11 pro m5 and the IPAD 13 m4. Both with the ESR keyboard cases.

In my office I have a Mac mini which is fine. I still need to be productive when in the physical office, office apps, browser, email etc. I have been playing around with external monitors and just am not a fan of the implementation with IPadOS 26. This pushes me to rule out the 11 inch model.

So with the 13. I think I can get by even without an external monitor. I love the OLED screen. Also I can use the device on airplanes easier than the MacBook Air.

Do I go 13 inch iPad or just keep the MacBook Air m4 13? I guess I’m just worried a little about being limited in the physical office.

Thoughts?

I see no reason to give up the 13” provided you can get your work done on the iPad. And if you have the cellular model, you can truly have a mobile computer that is great to use and a lot easier to transport and use mobile that the M4 Air.

I have an M4 iMac, M4 Mac mini, M4 MBA 13”, and an M5 13” iPad Nano. I go mobile with the iPad versus the MBA and haven’t thought to myself, I need the MBA.

In my opinion, the iPad Pro is the best of both worlds (casual use consumption and general work).
