iPad as a laptop replacement

[Tibits]

the likes of Office for iPad is atrocious. More like they checked a box to say it’s on iPad… without caring to make it any better than the phone versions. It’s great for phones. It’s limited for the likes of our iPads by 2025 standards. I can’t see them fixing it, though I wish they would..

i’ve been using an iPad Pro as a laptop replacement for almost 5 years now, however, this is one of my two main complaints I wish would be improved. I still heavily use Microsoft Office and honestly often go back to the desktop in my office if I need to heavily edit an Excel or Word file. The iPad version good for reading documents are making simple edits and that’s about it.

The other thing is file management. The iPad simply does not have robust file management capabilities and if I did not have an iMac available to me, this might be a nonstarter. It’s good for reading documents are making simple edits and that’s about it.

Otherwise, the iPad has been fantastic with the pros out weighing the cons and I have never thought about picking up a laptop.
