Can the MacBook Pro Replace Your iPad?

An iPad has been my primary personal device for years. I still do work on a PC (because I'm required to), and I sometimes go to my MacBook Pro for editing code. Most of my online reading happens on the iPad now. My only regular non-console gaming is on the iPad. And I even designed and printed a friend's wedding invitations on the iPad (Procreate is fantastic).

When I read articles criticizing iPad, I'm reminded of years of iOS vs Android articles that made up a competition of equals that simply didn't exist (I understand that for the last couple of years this is less true for flagship Android devices).

I thought this article was a funny take on this style of journalism that uses a vs-style competitive framing.
