The weak iPadOS literally says otherwise lol

Apple already said 2-3 years ago that they're not trying to blur the lines between Macs and iPads. And people like you have been saying this nonsense for at least 10 years now.
It’s all good for apple to tell us what we can have but I think for the people that just consume YouTube Netflix etc.. need safari and some word processing, iPad could be a lot better given all this power it has these days.
I mean if we would prefer to not have to buy two devices.. I don’t know why you think this is nonsense. You sound a little tyrannical about apples marketing or something
 
I'm probably gonna splurge for the M2 12,9. Or save money and get the M1 version depending on reviews. I got a Studio but miss the portability of a Macbook. I can use it as a second screen, bring it on photo shoots and let clients see previews, and stream movies on the lunch break at my day job.

If it's the same screen, I'm not sure there will be much of a upgrade. The iPad is great at what it is.
