I finally found a "solution" to my iPad Pro (2018) upgrade conundrum.
Current #iPad lineup is confusing to say the least. IMO completely missing the point.
Base iPad is too weak, iPad Air have unnecessarily powerful SoC in a shitty hardware (screen mostly) - and iPads Pro are expensive overkills.
So I finally found a refurbished M4 iPad Pro for just slightly more than new iPad Air M4
And I must admit - hardware is amazing! Especially screen.
There's also something weird about using it with my monitor + keyboard & mouse in windowed mode.
A weird macOS from alternative reality I guess?
iOS limitations though, are still apparent despite some progress (and even more so in a desktop mode)
And maybe it's sad - but I might never again use #iPad with a monitor this way! It's fine, but connecting a MacBook is simply more productive anyway 🤷♂️
If I would have just one computing device - then for sure, a monitor is a useful accessory for the iPad, but otherwise - not really I think 🤔
