For work I need an SSH client to access remote servers, and a web browser for when ClickOps is needed. Long battery life, and a tack sharp touch screen are gladly accepted. An iPad is the perfect "laptop" for me.
Just trying to imagine the workflow :)
I personally prefer a ~32" 4k screen for main work but I could see the convenience of an iPad to quickly remote in and check on stuff or maybe it's enough on it's own and I can learn from ya'll!
Just dock your iPad in the office and get a desktop class experience. Pick it up and go and have your same apps and sessions and data anywhere.
Would be nice. It's the experience I had with a Surface but I get Windows isn't applicable to all users and workloads.
The fact that you can't turn off the iPad screen while it's docked drives me crazy.
I recall: using stage manager, plugging into monitor via USB-C, going into Settings to disable mirroring/enable as external display, ensuring you have a mouse/keyboard connected to the iPad, and then just clicking the iPad screen off with the lock/unlock button.
lmk if that works!
