Can the iPad Pro M6 replace your laptop? We tried for a month

Each year Apple pushes the iPad Pro further into laptop territory, and the M6 makes the boldest case yet. I spent a month using the 13-inch iPad Pro as my only computer: writing, video calls, light design and even some coding. Here is what worked, and what still does not.

What works

The M6 is astonishingly fast and the Liquid Retina XDR display is the best I have used on any device under $2,000 in Africa-friendly conditions. Stage Manager plus an external monitor turns it into a surprisingly capable workstation.

Where it still stumbles

iPadOS is still not macOS. Multitasking feels powerful but occasionally fiddly, and some heavier desktop apps remain absent. If your work lives in the browser, iPadOS Office or design apps, you will barely notice.
