So while I have a recent MacBook Pro, it's usually in the office attached to a monitor and I have until now been using my old 2011 one around the house for general internet surfing, etc., no heavy lifting. I recently stopped using it for those things as Apple is no longer providing security updates to the latest OS that works on it, as well as it's noticeably sluggish compared to the recent one. So I was considering to get an iPad (probably the Air) as a replacement but not having any first hand experience with one, I'm not sure. For instance:
o What are the pros and cons of an iPad vs. an inexpensive laptop such as a Chromebook
o iPad vs just getting an iPhone with a larger screen as my current small screen one is getting on in age and will probably have to be replaced soon
o How easy is it to type on the virtual keyboard that it displays - I'm not looking to spend $ on accessories (pen, keyboard, etc.) because at that point I might as well get a MacBook Air?
Any input based on personal experience would be welcome.
