Unless they have changed, the limiting factor to an iPad is there are no USB ports. I can't live without USB or at least Bluetooth.

I have been using the iPads almost exclusively. Yes I have a laptop as well. However, I still get frustrated with the laptop because of windows 10. I so miss the Win 7pro. Now to my pads. I have and use three. My newest is the 11” Pro with 1tb storage, WiFi and cellular.
This one is mainly for photos. Installed I have the new PS for iPad, it still has a lot of kinks. PS Light room, PS Express, Photoshop fix, and Affinity. The iPad Pro is always with me when I go to assignments. With WiFi and Cellular I stay connected. Today I was at a clients river resort in Oregon, and when I finished the shots he wanted , I was able to send the captures to the iPad, do some minor corrections, get his approval and then send to the printer who I will visit tomorrow. Simple. With a laptop? IMOP from experience it no longer can compete. The iPad is light, faster to fire up, with the new iPad Pro the screen colors are amazing.
And when I need to do more PP, I then go the laptop that has a color corrected monitor. Does my iPads replace the laptop or the desk station? Sometimes.

I use my IPad all the time for email and browsing like this. It is small and ultra light weight, BUT it is very limited compared to a laptop in terms of memory, storage, performance/speed, screen size and availability of ports. If you are planning on doing photo editing, the laptop (with an external monitor) is a far better choice.
You need more than a Terra Byte of memory?

my previous tablet died, and it had all my kindle books on it. So just bought the new apple ipad air. it is telling me I cant do kindle on ipad. Does that mean I can't get all my books back? what a shame. I'd like to know if there is some way I can get my kindle account on my new ipad.
