You can already use iPadOS apps on MacOS with m1 right? So maybe that's why you would pay more for the Mac versus the iPad.

1TB harddrive and 16GB of RAM puts the ipad at $1,800.

Macbook Air with the same RAM/storage is about $1,600.

If you want to compete, you need a $350 keyboard for the ipad which makes it a full $550 more expensive.

As to tradeoffs, you get a better conferencing camera and touch on the ipad, but you get a better trackpad and two thunderbolt ports on the macbook.
