iPad Pro Craig and Joz discussing iPad on The Talk Show

Nothing changed from the day Apple introduced the iPad. If iPad isn’t for you, don’t buy one. Pick what you need.

Very few people “need” any Apple products. If someone buys an iPad Pro that Apple markets as essentially a laptop replacement, it should be able to do that reasonably.

Except that multitasking on a Samsung tablet is not Dex. Dex is great on an external monitor. But those who use Dex on a tablet are generally unexperienced people who are starting to use a Samsung tablet (e.g. coming from iPad) and have heard about Dex. Multitasking on the tablet is done much better with OneUI, which is optimizied for touch and is much more capable that either split screen and slideover or stage manager. And is much better Dex on a tablet. Those who use Dex on the tablet don't know OneUI enough (I mean there may be people who still prefer Dex, but there are strange people everywhere...🙃). Of course this is if you use the tablet with no keyboard and mouse, just with touch, with keyboard and mouse Dex is great, either on a monitor or on the tablet.

Agreed That multitasking on one UI is better/more capable than on the iPad but if all that split/multi windowing on one screen is adding to someone’s workflow is something I strongly debate (on any device).That’s just a personal opinion though.

I agree, personally I always work in full screen. And if I need more I use a second screen (not a great option on iPad since it drains the battery quite fast and you cannot use a tablet as as battery powered monitor, a thing that you can do on a desktop device...).
Having said that my comment was just to reply to the wrong idea that Dex is the way you multitask on Samsung tablets and it's not great with touch or that you cannot make it windowing and splits screen more powerful without making it bad with touch. OneUI proves that it's totally possible without keyboard and mouse and it's better than on iPadOS for those who prefer having those abilities. Dex is better left for external displays or for use with keyboard and mouse.
