Photoshop and video editing. Until the M chips, the app options were slim, and now iPads get new M chips as they come out.

You might ask — doesn’t it suck to do either on an iPad? Yep, yet even on my iPhone, I use Photoshop all the time.

VMs are not very CPU demanding usually — usually more RAM demanding.



How do you do any productivity on it if getting files in and out is such a pain?

I had M4 iPad PRO and is just collecting dust. Too clunky to use.


If you're in the apple ecosystem, the "normal" way is to just literally drag and drop files between devices with your mouse, use airdrop, copy on one device then paste on another, etc. "Continuity" makes it stupidly easy, but not advertised well.


The Files app can connect to SMB locations.


You can attach a USB drive. The Pro models have Thunderbolt.
