I don’t consider myself a very technical person, but (anecdata incoming) for everyone I know, the iPad is inadequate as a personal computer. It is great as an individual media consumption device, but beyond that its capacity is limited at best and nonexistent at worst. Multi - user support, especially for families with kids sharing the “family iPad”, is not supported. A student exporting a video for a school project in iMovie in the background isn’t supported; the app must remain in the foreground at all times. Obviously downloading games from Steam / Epic isn’t (currently) possible. All of these are normal things non-technical people expect out of a “real” computer. Of course, I could very well be wrong, and I am open to evidence to the contrary. But, for what it’s worth, I have never personally known anyone who has taken the iPad seriously beyond the most basic computational needs.
