The 2021 iPad Pro is upgraded with the M1 chip, which guarantees that it will not be out of date for at least 5 years, so I bought it.
It is mainly used to test whether it can replace my Surface Pro as the main office computer.
Word: The use of documents is actually not complicated. Only for graduation thesis will such complicated format adjustments be used, so Word on the iPad can be used.
Excel: Tables are used daily, mainly for calculation formulas, graphs, and pivot tables, but the iPad version of Excel is particularly inconvenient.
PPT: The frequency of PPT production is very high, and the layout in the iPad is painful. There are not so many shortcut keys and tools on the PC side.
My mailbox is Outlook, which has a simple interface and is extremely optimized for touch sliding.
The disadvantage is that it is not possible to set up rich sending and receiving rules, and it is no problem to simply use it.
OneNote for electronic notes, although the interface is not as beautiful as Godnotes, but the functionality is very good.
Teams are mainly used for meetings, and this is all right. The iPad version is very smooth, and the functions are relatively complete.
If you have a Windows computer, I also recommend using the Edge browser and RD Client. Edge browser can synchronize Windows favorite pages, and other functions are also very powerful.
RD Client can remotely log in to your Windows computer. When the iPad is not up to the task, enter the Windows desktop to complete the operation, which is perfectly adapted to the resolution of the iPad Pro.
In general, iPad Pro can only cope with office in general scenarios, and Surface is still indispensable.
