Should I buy an ipad air or an imac air, how do they compare disregarding price.

I currently have an iMac desktop and an iPad 7th generation. I want to update the iPad to the iPad air. For about $200 more I can buy the iMac air, not sure what to do. What use purposes determine which to buy ??

iPad (7th generation)

Do you prefer using a keyboard with your iPad? If so, I'd consider the Macbook Air. It's a wonderful machine. It's lighter than my iPad Pro with a keyboard.


If you use your iPad for drawing and/or prefer to use an Apple Pencil or stylus, go with the iPad. I also use my iPad for Sidecar to give my MBA a second display.


If it's possible, go to a local Apple Store and play with both.
