can an ipad be used as a computer

Hello,

According to the dictionary, a computer is defined as an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program. By this broad definition, an iPad is a computer.

Hello everybody,

I would like to know if the ipad pro with a magic keyboard can replace a laptop?

Depends on your specific requirements. Yes it can be used to write documents, get email, etc... It will not work exactly as a computer, but in many cases it can replace one if your requirements are not to demanding or have some specific need of something only an actual computer can run.

Do note, iPads run iOS and iOS based Apps, they do not run Windows or Mac apps so some concesions need to be made.
