About to abandon my Lenovo for something from Apple, but having trouble deciding between an M1 MBA and new iPad Pro. It's for personal use, photo editing, streaming, emails and occasionally more demanding use cases. My main concern is the debate over the limitations of iPadOS, but realistically I'm not concerned about Lightroom/Logic pro etc. and as far as I can see it's competant at everything else. Smaller battery life and lack of headphone jack on the iPad are also annoying.
On the edu store I could get a 512gb//16gb RAM MBA for roughly the same price as the new 12.9"/256gb/8gb RAM iPad Pro with a magic keyboard case. The former seems more future proof/sensible, but part of me just really wants that mini LED touch-screen...
I've got a 13" MacBook Pro and iPad Pro, and work between both of them. If I had to choose just one, whilst the iPad Pro is great, I'm not sure if I'd want it as my only device. It's an amazing companion device and I use it lots, but you might eventually find it a bit limiting.

Any thoughts on this stupid first world dilemma?
