Laptops
The iPad Pro has long been a laptop alternative for those who prefer it, but iPadOS hasn’t been very friendly for those who really need a laptop experience. Certain advances, such as a cursor-friendly mode used with the iPad Keyboard, have helped. But now Apple is helping a whole lot more with its new Stage Manager update coming to iPadOS 16. This is a slew of laptop-friendly features that make using an iPad a lot like using a MacBook, from adding a dock to allowing for detailed resizing and control of apps. It’s now more possible than ever to use your iPad as a laptop.
Ironically, this may most affect those who want to save money by getting an iPad instead of a MacBook, but it could also compete with third-party laptops that users may now debate getting.
