Fully agree.I agree that the ipad still needs more functionality, but I find that the Microsoft surface tablet does not meeting my vision of tablet computing either. It’s too much like a conventional laptop, and I love my ipad precisely because it is nothing like a PC.
For better and for worse, I like that iPadOS lets me just work without having to contend with any of the complexities of a legacy desktop OS (which includes both windows and macOS). I still own a Mac and use it for work, and I also appreciate the simplicity of iOS whenever I can get away with using it for work.
i love using my iPad *because* it’s not a Mac. I don’t want my iPad to be a Mac, or a Surface like device. I want it to be an iPad. I want them to add features as they fit with the iPad. There’s room to improve, but there’s always room to improve. Look at how multitasking has grown from iOS 11 to iPadOS 15 for example.
I’m down to make the iPad even more computer-like, but I definitely don’t want just a Mac with a touchscreen.
