We Tested the Switch 2 Display - Is It Really That Slow?

I’m not typically an iPad fan, but the M4 iPad Pro changed my mind

For the longest time, I had believed that purchasing a new iPad at full price never made any sort of sense. Ultimately, you’re paying more than an equivalently spec’d MacBook, for less capability.

However, I’ve now owned an M4 iPad Pro for nearly a year, and I can confidently say it’s changed how I feel towards iPads. And that’s before factoring in all of the great new features in iPadOS 26. What makes M4 iP
