So? These days a lot of coding is less resource intensive than browsing.

And like another commenter said, not every "Pro" user is a developer. I for one just take the Pro as meaning, better/faster.

And if someone wants to Shell out 800+ for such a device that's fine with me. But just because it costs a lot doesn't mean I can do anything with it. I also don't expect a good SSH experience from a Garmin 5X Plus.

The problem isn't, that the iPad is badly suited as a laptop replacement based on its hardware capabilities. The problem is, that Apple enforces arbitrary software limitations, preventing the laptop usage. What is the justification, that the iPad files app cannot browse an attached USB-stick? Why is the iPad prohibited from running Termux?
