What to buy, MacBook or iPad pro

A computer is inherently more powerful than a tablet. It all depends on what you want to do with it. If you are a graphic artist using Creative Cloud, then you need a computer, not a tablet. If you want to do spreadsheets and word processing, you can use an iPad. IMO, no, an iPad will not replace a Macbook Pro

There is only one good way to figure it out: go to an Apple store and play with both and ask lots of questions.

There is no wayto give a unilateral answer because everyone has different needs. For me, my iPad will never replace my computer. File management and other every day tasks are much easier and I find creating my art cards is easier on the computer as well.

The question is, what do you want to do? If you can tell us the things you want to do, you will get a more informed response
