But instead, I see a lot of folks who would be better with a Mac or PC and not a tablet, but they will spend hours upon hours fighting an iPad to make it more like they are used to on a laptop or desktop computer.
This cuts both ways. The problem with a Mac for me is:
-No rear facing camera. Using a separate camera and importing is a “work around” just for the sake of using a Mac.
-No Apple Pencil. Using a separate notebook is another “work around”
-No portrait mode. I hate reading in landscape mode. With an iPad I can go back and forth depending on what I’m working on.
-No cellular
-Can’t use it while walking around. As a financial professional who regularly goes to meetings and roams an office building, I can walk around with an iPad Pro and use it standing up, not a Mac.
-Can’t use in the driver‘s seat of a rental car.
-The Mac takes up too much space on my desk when I’m using a full sized keyboard.
Sorry, but for me, the Mac is a stunted device full of shortcomings and the M1 chips did nothing to address the problems I have with it. I’m not going to jump through hoops of using external camera’s, notebooks, or using Wi-Fi hotspots to make it work.
