Could I use the iPad as my only computer?


Short answer is yes but I wouldn't love it.

I would actually love this, as I could just spend my money on a Studio Display instead of a Mac and be done with it: one device for all my needs, why isn’t Apple building an iPhone Pro with the M4 chip already? I like this idea for the iPad, as sort of the a permanent “request desktop version” setting that is already available via the “ᴀA” menu of Safari, albeit it needs to be activated each time you visit a website. This set up wouldn’t be great for an iPad, as I would have to constantly hold the device, and, when paired with a Magic Keyboard thing, it would be less stable than the laptop anyway.
