It's 2025. The last time I had a laptop was in 2012, with the first-gen Retina MBP. My sole portable computer since then has been iPad, for well over a decade, so all these 'can iPadOS 26 replace your laptop?' videos, or the 'we're Mac guys and of course iPad will never replace the Mac so why are they even trying' podcasts, are pretty amusing

@stroughtonsmith I think the discussion has always been about whether the iPad can function as your (sole) computer.

It’s not really the same thing when you still get to use a desktop Mac all day long to do all your “real” computer tasks.

My iPad has been my primary computer since the iPad 2. But I’d still give it up before my MBA/Mini if I could only have one.
