Is it even possible for an iPad to fully replace your laptop?
Apple will release new iPads on May 7, and if we believe the rumors, there’ll be some improvements across the board. The front-facing cameras will move to the long side of the tablets, the Pro models will get OLED displays, and the iPad Air will come in two bigger sizes, along with the obvious specs upgrades. However, the most important news may be in the accessories department, with a new squeezable Apple Pencil and a sturdier Magic Keyboard with a bigger trackpad.
The goal of all this is to provide users with an experience much closer to using a laptop. After all, back in 2016, Phill Schiller dubbed the iPad “the ultimate PC replacement.” Current iPads have some multitasking capabilities, though those features feel limited, especially with more complicated workflows. The big question is if hardware upgrades can make the new iPads better at replacing the good old laptops or it’s a lost cause.
So, what would make you consider replacing your laptop with a tablet? What are the things that could make you consider such a move? What are the issues that are stopping you from making this step? Have you ever tried using an iPad for anything other than entertaining yourself or your kids?

I keep saying it: Huawei doesn't need anything faster than what it has. It's trouncing ALL of its competitors without gimmicky cutting-edge chips. Comments here and in similar articles only validate my opinion. 😏

Long form videos is a good idea.But vision pro won't replace iPhone.These kind of devices will replace televisions,gaming consoles and possibly PC's and tablets. The quest pro 2 will do it first. It is in talks with LG to do that in various ways. Or so I have read.
The thing that will replace phones is of course rollables and later rollables will evolve into strap-on ( to the wrist) bendable phones. I remember talking about this earlier too here.
Later smart spectacles will replace phones, after that smart contacts then after that implanted chips in the brain by 2040.
Edit: Or smart specs could exist alongside wrist strap-on phones by the end of this decade as a replacement to current phones. Then next decade smart contacts.
These could be used as topics too for your video series down the line.

Great article. These people can sound really convincing. Do what I always tell people, if anyone calls you, T-Mobile, your bank, your credit card, anyone, politely hand up and call the service back at the number you have on file for them.

I think Samsung is going to be hard-pressed to care much, when the ZF5 beats the Pixel Fold, depsite its smaller battery. 9.4 hours of SOT is nothing to sneeze at.

Good to see Samsung working hard to get back to where it belongs and where it had been for 13 years in a row. I like what Samsung did with the S24 series from the design (hardware) to the AI integration (they kept it simple, didn't overdue it), and especially One UI 6.1, to me is this year's stand out feature. And we are still half way, we still have the Foldables and the Ring to look forward to. But to be fair this is only one quarter, I want to see the year to year numbers.

I like it companies like apple and samsung try to keep everything behind close doors so they can show the new stuff on the day of the presentation and they cant because everyone already knows whats coming. Its been years since any big company was able to hold off any leak until the presentation day. Now this dude got caught just like when samsung caught one 2 years ago now you pay for the bs.I know we like to know whats coming early including myself but as you knwo now the upgrades from one year to another are less and less by the time the day comes everyone knows whats the new stuff all about.
