As an artist, I make a great living on my iPad Pro with it’s lame iPadOS(according to you). I still find it funny how MacOS users bash iPadOS just because it’s not MacOS. When iPadOS is totally fine for millions of professionals such as myself. It’s as if you won’t be satisfied until Apple turns iPadOS into MacOS. 😂 Hey, stick with your MacBook and leave our iPads alone! We love our iPads just the way they are. iPadOS is not underpowered for us at all. We enjoy doing heavy professional artwork on our iPads and we also enjoy doing everything else on our iPads more than we ever did on our MacBooks with it’s clunky and impersonal MacOS! 😂 Seriously. Watching movies on a laptop? Please. Surfing the web on a laptop sucks compared to an iPad. I enjoy editing photos & videos more on my iPad. And writing on my iPad even without a separate keyboard using the digital keyboard is faster, lighter and more convenient than using a laptop. Plus you can also use the Apple pencil to take notes. You can’t do that on a macbook. I think deep down inside, laptop users are just jealous of us iPad users. 😂 They so desperately want the personal touch screen of an iPad but are not willing to make the leap and ditch their macbook. They’re scared to let go. 😱 So they bash iPads to make themselves feel better. Meanwhile us iPad users just laugh cause we are totally content with our iPads just the way they are. 👍🏼
This is what gets me with the whole iPad vs MacBook discussion;
The iPad, especially now, is viable in many fields and use cases. Home Automation, creating art, organizing your day/life, communication, healthcare, selling, brainstorming, gaming, and so on. I personally also use my iPad as a tool to make my living and it's not underpowered by the OS. Part of that is due to the form factor over a laptop and with the right case, the iPad's screen can be propped up much like a laptop's screen is.
iPadOS has a decent enough file system that's easy enough to reach your documents plus modern iPads let you use external drives now, it's easy enough to hook up a keyboard with bluetooth, but even with that (and more) apparently the iPad simply isn't good enough for many people.
You can quite literally control the lights, thermostat, and music around your house, call your friend from out of state, emulate your favorite retro games, then work on pictures you've taken for your blog or for your eBay store with an iPad yet because the OS works in a different way from macOS, it's an underpowered OS.
I'm not even saying for laptop fans to get an iPad if they don't think it'll work for them either, both have their place. It's just that both can do largely similar things. What makes me want an iPad over a MacBook is that I prefer the form factor + the pencil functionality. Otherwise, it functions much like my other computers that have their own roles in my life.
