I finally bought 7th gen iPad last year after Apple introduced Desktop 'like' browsing and iPadOS,
Then I got Logitech Combo Touch (sadly they were faulty so I don't have them). and be-hold trackpad and keyboard (which work 'nice' but very limited in support).
It's a GREAT consumer/entertainment device. even nice canvas for sketches.
But any other productivity fails deeply.
Here is a simple fail use-case (I think so):
Apple's own Pages.
* Try selecting text and copy/paste. (even with trackpad) sometimes the contextual options provide ANYTHING but copy/paste.
* Apple's FileProvider... I like to do something quite common to my computer workflow, work within a Dropbox folder.
This works nicely for few minutes, then you get a message complaining access failed and it closes the document (showing you tons of Conflicted copies).
So for me at least, even declared usability of iPad for any productivity is subpar to macOS.
(even with trackpad and keyboard)
