Happened across one of these in curry’s today wondering if it’s a better option than an IPad Pro for what I’d want it for.

Generally use the current iPad Pro mostly for web browsing, always been on apple but there not really anything on my iPad that ties it to my iPhone these days.

Would be handy to have something with a keyboard.

Personally use would be limited mostly to web browsing and a few browsing apps like Rightmove, social media, Airbnb, etc.

Work use with a keyboard that makes it easier to navigate QuickBooks, payroll (cloud based software), and other associated cloud based book keeping pages. It would only be used fleetingly for work as I prefer to use a fix 3 screen set up but it’d be handy if I could just flip it out when sat on sofa on a train etc and quickly process a short task like payroll.

That’s what I’m coming up with, just wondering if it’ll have the processing power to deal with those cloud based softwares? And anything else I should be looking for?

Many thanks

I really dislike the Surface Pro design, especially the keyboard. I do get the appeal of a somewhat more conventional 2 in 1.

I use my iPad Pro with the Apple Magic Keyboard - best of all worlds

I missed the OP already has an iPad Pro - I that case, just get a keyboard! iPad OS 26, coming in the next few weeks, also promises to unlock a lot of additional functionality as well, making iPad Pro more laptop like.
