IPad Pro or MacBook Air?

Hi there, I’m going to uni in September. I will be a business and enterprise with education student. I am wondering whether to buy the iPad Pro 2020 11” or to opt for an older MacBook Air like the 2017 version. Thanks!

Hello,


The biggest difference is the available software. iPad Pro is a fantastic computer however it cannot run traditional desktop Macintosh application. This being said developers are starting to produce professional iPad applications. I can only assume that the catalog of professional applications will only increase with time. I personally use an iPad Pro as my main computer I do not have any complaints.
