I have to confess something. I have long had a dream: to be able to do all of my work from an iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been using a Mac since I was a kid and I still love the platform. But my happiest, zen-like moments of productivity? Those have weirdly all come while working from an iPad. There\u2019s just something about the flow and focus of iPadOS that makes me more productive. Because of this unfortunate quirk, I have given up my MacBook at least four times only to come crawling back after finding yet another level of depth to the iPad\u2019s shortcomings in comparison to a laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I replace my laptop with an iPad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But with iPadOS 16 and the latest iPad Pro models, things feel different. Yes, the much-hyped Stage Manager <\/strong>feature is here and yes Apple has publicly struggled in making it a reality throughout the beta process. But I personally think they\u2019re onto something here. In fact, Apple\u2019s tablet platform has matured just enough that I think it\u2019s possible for more people than ever before to use the iPad as your only computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when you throw in the fact that the top of the iPad lineup\u2014like the M2 iPad Pro I\u2019m typing this from\u2014contains a chip present not only in the company\u2019s MacBook Air, but also MacBook Pro laptops\u2014 there\u2019s really no reason you shouldn\u2019t be able to get a lot done with the iPad Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all of this in mind, I decided to take the plunge. I have once again sworn off my MacBook and for the last month have been using the iPad Pro as my only computer. (I started the process with an 12.9\u201d M1 model, but when the M2 model was released, I decided to upgrade and have been using that model for the last couple of weeks.) My day-to-day workflow includes the regular stuff\u2014email, web browsing, Teams chats\u2014alongside medium-to-advanced tasks like designing in Canva, and editing a lot of photos and video projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
