    Honestly I don’t see the point at this stage. I have an iPad Pro M2 and it’s rapid as it is, do games and work on it etc. The bigger problem is iPadOS not taking advantage of all that power.

      I still am happy with my M1 Pro.

      And, honestly, for a while I was using it with a monitor, and that dual screen setup wasn’t too terrible. However there are just enough issues with Stage Manager to make it annoying to use for long stretches at a time.

      That is to say: I agree they have too much power that isn’t being used well.

      Yeah, we could almost all be using iPad that dock and fun a full OS. But because corporation needs their profits tech advancement has been held back.

      M1 MacBook Air 16GB user here. It does everything except AI and resource-hungry non native gaming. PS2 emulation with PS5 Controller works like a charm, 60 FPS 4x upscaling no problem.

      IMHO, the only benefit is the longevity of the device. Those specs are absolute overkill for today’s needs, but that iPad will remain performant for a long time.
