Supported updates to OS X for your MacBookAir are free, as are updates to iPadOS which

is the operating system on iPads.


You can watch movies on an iPad. Microsoft offers a version of their products

for iPad, but I do not believe those versions have all the features of the version

for your laptop. If you do not use the unsupported features, it would not matter.

Suggest you contact Microsoft for further information on their products.


An iPad will come with Pages and Keynotes which are Apple versions of

Works and Powerpoint.
