Unfortunately, not really. iPad with an m2 chip is on another level.

I haven’t been satisfied with the iPadOS software compared to the S23U. Feel like that utilizes multitasking and stylus functionality way better which would be much more appreciated on the large screen of the iPad. Little things like edge panels, one hand operation +, and stylus being built in and having options like smart select pop right up when I take it out leads me me to using it more. Then the limited folder options on top of that and worse external monitor support feels like all that power that can run a full on desktop is wasted and held back by the mobile OS.

One thing I do love about the iPad is that I can rely on long term security updates, since majority of my use is as a glorified comic reader along side my kindle for ebooks. It does make it easier to tolerate iPadOS, and pretty the only reason I chose it over the Samsung despite finding myself using the S23U way more even when I have the iPad available. I ended up expecting less from the iPad than my phone. I don’t know if it would have ended up that way even if it had more features, or if it was just me adapting and accepting iPadOS for what it was.

I remember the high end Android tablets being in a rough place because of app performance and layouts (where some apps still don’t offer a really good tablet centric layout, they give you a big mobile layout)

I remember looking at the Galaxy tab range about 5-6 years ago and while they had good processors, they seemed to struggle on multi-core performance and smoothness.

It could totally be a different scenario today, but it feels like their reputation has been set, the Android tablets are a poor man’s iPad (which is a bit funny considering how expensive some can be!)

That would be “intraoperability”, I guess.

True, that was poor word choice. I guess it would just be “operability?” Or “integration?”

Good on you M8 glad it works well.
