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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mine used daily for 7-8 years straight.

When kaput, the battery will be bloated and eventually put pressure on the display. The display will crack opening opening. That's it is truly not serviceable compared to MBA.

If u looking for at least 10 years usage, opt for the MBA. Once it finally goes outdated, buy another.
