At a time when digital products are constantly innovating, the cross-terminal connectivity of Apple's iPad is hotly debated, but whether it can replace the laptop still needs to be further explored.

Apple iPad works seamlessly with Apple devices like Mac by connecting them across devices. For example, you can use your iPad as a second display on your Mac to expand your visual space and multitask, such as editing files on your Mac while viewing materials on your iPad. With Sidecar, you can also use Apple Pencil to create Mac apps directly on your iPad, making it easier to write and draw and boost your creative productivity.

However, there is still something irreplaceable about notebooks. In terms of performance, laptops have more computing power and usually larger memory and hard disk capacities, which can easily cope with running large professional software, such as the Adobe family of complex graphic design and video editing software, while iPads are limited by hardware, and running such software will lag or even be unusable. In terms of system integrity, the notebook system has richer multitasking modes and file management systems, which are suitable for in-depth office and complex task processing, while the iPad system is more focused on mobile convenience.

While Apple's iPad cross-device connectivity brings a new user experience and excels in simple office, entertainment, and light creative scenarios, the advantages of laptops are still evident in the face of professional needs and complex tasks. Therefore, at present, it is difficult for iPad to completely replace the notebook with cross-terminal interconnection, and the two are more like playing their own unique value in different scenarios.
