Where things fall short is iPadOS itself. The iPad Pro being a great tablet and a great sketching tool and a pretty great laptop makes it very versatile. The device’s modularity ensures you can quickly switch between using the tablet as-is, sketching with an Apple Pencil, typing using an Apple Magic Keyboard or Brydge 12.9 MAX+ with its gigantic trackpad. For games and entertainment, the iPad is strong too. The platform remains poor for coding, but other high-end tasks are supported by superb pro-grade apps, including video editing, music production, photographic and illustration work, creative writing, and boring office stuff. The “you can’t do real work on an iPad” brigade is having to fall back on increasingly niche concerns to ‘win’ that argument.
