iPad Pro My Wish

With all the back & forth about whether it is or is’nt a laptop replacement, what I really wish for is the ability to fully back up an iPad Pro to a external hard drive and also restore a device from one. That’s pretty much what I use my 2014 retina MacBook Pro for. Not a fan of iCloud backups nor the restore process. This would put it in the near laptop replacement category for me. That’s based on my current usage and the only thing keeping me holding on. May not sound realistic at all right now but hey it’s my wish.
