Daily browsing you mean internet browsing ?

If only internet browsing, I would suggest you use phone do that.

Based on your list, I feel like you are looking for media consumption more than just surfing the internet.

Internet browsing including youtubes and casual movie streaming. Phone screen is too small for my convenience. I need dedicated keyboard thats why i includes magic keyboard for ipad there

I see, with your use case. I think 5k budget is over kill.

I personally use Windows Laptop for my work.
iPad Pro M2 for my work (note taking) + document viewing + Game + light internet browsing.

For movie streaming, I got TV and sound system at my house.


I feel like you want to do more on the device instead of just surfing the internet and movie because you need a keyboard.

Do you have any "main machine" with keyboard already? If yes, go for iPad Pro. But they keyboard is just waste of money. Heavy and expensive. Pencil is the money that you want to spend.

If not, don't go for iPad. IPad OS is, you know is just a tablet. You don't expect you can do some productivity think in iPad. Biggest weakness of iPad Pro is iPadOS.
You will not be more Pro with the keyboard.

I suggest you go for Mac or Windows if you don't have main machine.

I have Windows PC that can handle my heavy task such as coding, photo editing and light gaming. The reason I'm looking for new device is for portability since I travel quit a lot after married.
I do agree that apple pencil is really useful when using ipad.

Then go for iPad Pro. And... don't just M2 now la. Directly buy the M4 one brows.gif

I think Windows PC and Macbook is kind of redundant.
