No doubt iPadOS 13.1 is a big improvement. But it's still not there. I tried multiasking with spreadsheets and a Pencil and I could still work far faster on my MBP. I tried plugging in an A73 yesterday to get video off it, and followed all trhe tutorials. It was seen by the Files app and Photos, but I couldn't grab any files (looked blank). I had to resort to Sony's Image transfer app via wifi that took forever.
I may have missed something, but I could have accomplished that in a few minutes on the laptop. The vaunted "desktop class" browsing in Safari is better, but there are still sites that don't work 100% with it, or elements end up off the page, inaccessible, etc. Still need the MBP.
Don't get me wrong, It's a huge step in the right direction. It's a lot closer. But it can't replace the laptop yet. Not for me.
