This is something that you might not consciously think about, but unconsciously. Well, you no more need to. In this article you will find, should you be actually using your iPad Pro as a Laptop, or if it’s just a bad idea. So, with that said, let’s get into the details.

The whole internet is filled with polarized opinions, some being completely against the idea, while, others strongly believe it can do so. But the question still remains the same, can it replace a laptop? Should it be used as a laptop replacement, and the quick answer is it really depends.

Consider someone doing their work from home, the most they will require is normal apps, or software available on the cloud, making the iPad Pro not only a comparable device but something which will provide them value beyond what the typical laptop will.

Now consider a different case scenario where the person is required to use complex software like DaVinci Resolve, and Blender, forget about switching, let alone this software can’t even run on an iPad, putting the iPad Pro out of comparison.

So, should you buy it?

Well as I said the answer isn’t going to be the same for everyone, and it’s not a simple thing to answer, the way to find that out is to write down, what you use your laptop for, if you don’t have one currently, then for what purposes you are going to use your laptop for.

Now look can you perform all these tasks from an iPad Pro, again the best way to figure that out is, look at, does the list includes any software which is not available on the iPad Pro.

But I am still confused! What should I do?

Then for you, what I can say is, just go with the ordinary laptop, even if you plan to consider iPad Pro, just keep it as an iPad, don’t mess it up with the laptop.
