I just realized that the folders in dark mode are still light. I can't stop looking at them now...

Honestly though, a tablet could NEVER replace a full-fledged PC. (Unless all you do is email, and browse the web.. period)

I own a macbook air m1 and an ipad pro. Let me explain why I use the macbook 95% of the time over the ipad.

I will list things from the top of my head atm:

Mac versions of apps are a million times better than ipad versions not to mention the fucking advertisements in free apps on ipados. Mac versions provide a better UI, more functionality and are more practical.

You cant run youtube in background on ipad, cant play some games while listening to music at the same time.

iPadOS can never come close to macos in terms of multi-tasking like fuck you can open an infinite amount of tabs and windows and multiple applications and display them all at once with proper sound coming from each window. A proper use-case would be listening to spotify at low vol while playing a game of dota 2 and streaming the gameplay on youtube while watching a twitch streamer on a second monitor. (if you want more control on the sound coming from the mac you can adjust volume of each app, set custom equalisers and also make the sound much louder. app is called "boom 3d" it is a definite must-have)

There are a million more customisation options on macos compared to ipados. Use 3rd party apps or terminal to install homebrew or simply use commands on terminal to change specific things.

You can screen record zoom meetings with sound on a mac working july 2021 xD

(you can download torrents with ease if you want)

Apps like final cut pro, after effects, adobe suite etc simply arent available on ipad.

You can run windows on a mac using bootcamp or parallels therefore you can use any windows program including games on a mac!

let me mention the terrible apps on ipados again lol

macbook has a bigger and more practical screen size for productivity.

If an ipad with the keyboard is the same price to a mac then why get an ipad?

The multitasking alone is the single reason i prefer mac over ipad. The thousand extra features on a mac are just extras that are incredibly useful on a day-to-day basis.

I really dont get why many people on youtube talk about using an ipad as a laptop replacement. I could never see myself picking an ipad over a macbook. Doesnt matter how cheap of a laptop you get it will be tons better than an ipad.

Honestly cant think of a single advantage of having an ipad over a macbook.

The only case that makes sense to me is if you already have a desktop workstation with a proper pc at home and you can get by with only an ipad while youre away.

Feel free to share your opinions. Cheers!
