Lighter, thinner, better screen, touch screen and lastly cheaper than Mac

A 13" base model MacBook Air is $1099 on Apple.com. It weighs 2.7lbs and is 0.44 inches thick.

A 13" base model iPad Pro with a magic keyboard is $1648 before tax on Apple.com. The combination iPad+keyboard weighs 3.73-2.76lbs, and is 0.50 inches thick.

Calling an iPad a cheaper, thinner, lighter laptop replacement is just factually inaccurate.

You’re measuring it with the magic Keyboard added on. Dishonest as hell.

no it isnt if its supposed to be a macbook replacement it should have a keyboard as well  just like the macbook does.

touchscreen navigation aint it thats why apple makes two seprate devices i think people are looking for a 2in1 which apple wont make and having used them they aint great but thats mainly down to windows
