I bought an ipad pro for art - mostly Procreate (is that sad?) but I also use a 16" wacom display tablet attached to my desktop when I'm not mobile. I also use it to play with music recording on mobile with a small midi keyboard and some synth apps. The ipad hardware is really nice. The OS is super limiting to the point of frustration. If there were alternate non-apple hardware of similar quality for what I do on ipad, I would likely switch. As it is the device is just for 'playing' creatively.

For a computer, I regularly run software with no mac ports and I'm not a big fan of the way apple is fundamentally anti consumer in its approach to product repair, OS design and controlling what software can be run on devices. I don't want to invite that sort of intrusive tech control over my life in the future by buying into now as a principle computing device when its more 'open' (even though apple is fundamentally not open) I've seen this kind of thing coming as apple gets more and more aggressive with its policies.

Apple's move to their own silicon only makes me think they walled garden will get an even more impenetrable wall, and I'm just not interested. (The hardware is good but the OS is limiting, and it seems likely to me that the longer apple makes their own silicon the less likely it will play nicely with anyone else. Apple wants you to buy their shit and they don't care if it doesn't work with anyone else's).
