For you. Not for many other users who definitely do not agree with this statement.

To me this will be the kind of computers I'll tell my parents to use as soon as their crappy laptops die. They do not need literally anything else: sending emails, write a few ones, check Youtube and browse the web. For this use case, it's the most useful machine. Never breaks, infinite battery, no support needed.

And I hate Apple. So this says a lot.

You don't need an iPad Pro with M5 for that, though.

Of course not. I was just answering the comment about the form factor and the device's philosophy as a whole.

The iPads have become very capable for 3D and illustration, I think they are good also for music.

I don’t have a use for the Pro model but I use my Air a lot.

My laptop folds and has a touchscreen too.. there are ones which support advanced pens - none of this requires the OS to be as locked as iOS.

I have never used a touch screen laptop that wasn’t compromised - heavy, wrong screen ratio and if it’s an x86 laptop it runs hot with poor battery life

Yeah the nice thing about (non-cellular) iPads vs. the competition (including Android tablets last time I tried them, but maybe they've gotten a ton better since then) is that you can leave them in a drawer for a couple weeks, take them out, they'll wake up ~instantly, and still have a useful amount of charge. x86 laptops and (again, last I tried) Android tablets always gave me "where's the nearest outlet?!" anxiety, or were just dead when I picked them up to use them. iPads are chill.

You've chosen your computer and OS and are looking for compatible apps. I've gone the other way. I want to run Procreate and the best environment for running it is the iPad with Apple Pencil.

Both are reasonable ways to make a decision.

No desktop OS works as well with a touchscreen as iPad OS.

It's a touch-first OS, for better and for worse. Anything else it was tacked onto a UI/UX made for a keyboard and mouse
