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. |

QUOTE(Ukeke @ Sep 4 2025, 09:29 PM) 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. This post has been edited by kmrdeva: Sep 4 2025, 09:36 PM |

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