Put aside what MacBook or iPad can or cannot do. What do you want to do?

Productivity and watch movies. No game. Always bring outside like cafe or public park to do work

I would suggest MacBook Air. Connect it to your iPhone's hotspot since it won't have cellular connectivity.

Likely lighter to carry around, cheaper & longer battery life too.

i've been using iPad Pro M1 5G with keyboard since its first launch back in 2021 till today.

so far so good.

if you're work requires you to frequently mobile, MBA don't have 5G capability and you need to go sit at coffee shop with that questionable WiFi security.

For typical word, powerpoint, it's perfect plus you can draw or sign documents using the pencil.

for excel however, if your data is not that much (<500) and not have to using macros, etc, then it's still doable.

Hot spot exist....

Regardless, pick ipad if it's just casual "work" aka just fucking around.
Pick mba for actual work.
Ipad os is really crippling for anything productivity related.

Alternative, pick better laptop.

You do office apps in ipad will kill your brain cells. Go with MBA for that. Ipad only for browsing and games.

Microsoft Office suite apps suck donkey cock in MacOS. You are better off using Windows for it.

Despite using iPadOS 26 beta for some weeks now and finding it more productive than iPadOS 18x, I am still thinking of selling off my iPad Pro 11 (m2) and getting a new MacBook Air 13 (m4) soon.

Prefer a full computer OS than a gimped tablet OS for my use case.

at the expense of killing the battery life of your iPhone?

no thanks.

get a 4G MiFi instead. This is my advice since i was using hotspot quite a lot via my old iPhone XS max last time.

the bugger got overheat most of the time & battery life reduced significantly.

so lesson learned, i got iPad Pro M1 5G instead.

iPadOS is not great as I thought. Wise choice to get a macbook

Kecian.

Anyway, I have an iPad Pro 11 with cellular + keyboard + mouse. Despite running iPadOS 26 beta, it's still not as productive as a MacBook.
