Trying to Use My iPad as a Desktop Replacement

This article details the author's attempt to use an iPad Air M2 as a desktop replacement by connecting it to a large external monitor, Logitech keyboard, and mouse. The author discusses equipment setup, the ease of charging via USB-C monitor, and the severe limitations encountered. Key issues include iPadOS restrictions making development nearly impossible, poor mouse and keyboard support even in first-party apps like Pages (e.g., no way to correct misspelled words without touchscreen), and third-party app problems like inability to exit YouTube videos. The experience confirms the iPad is not a viable full-time desktop replacement despite improved windowing features.
