I have tried several different iPads over the years and I have never found them to be useful in any way. A laptop is superior in every situation for me.

Also the M1 MacBook Air was on sale many times for $700. That's less than $100 more than your iPad Air + keyboard.

Macs are better for me for a lot of things, too, sure. When I'm not doing computer-toucher things, though, I find it isn't materially different. And a lot of people want the affordances without the need to do those kinds of things.

Apple's presentation has mostly been the Mac is a work truck, and most people have light-duty needs.
