Upgraded both my MBP and iPad Pro in the last year and am using the latter much more for work than before. For a variety of eyesight/ergonomic issues, and effect of going 16” where weight/bulk/screen size tradeoff ironically makes it less usable except hooked up to a monitor, defeating the big-screen purpose.

At this point iOS is the limiter, not the hardware. I can see myself not using a laptop at all in a few years. iPad + maybe a home server? Feels like laptop is a dying form factor, both OS and h/w wise.

Same place myself. I've found that Stage Manager, despite its flaws, made a huge difference. I just switch to desktop now when I need VS Code, do admin stuff in Discord that the iOS app doesn't support, or for my monthly backups. (If Discord and Tresorit had Linux ARM64 clients, I'd probably just go full iPad + RPi.)
