Okay, let's dive into the common reasons why someone might experience iPadOS 26 (or any recent version) and still ultimately prefer or return to a MacBook. While the iPadOS experience is incredibly refined and powerful for many tasks, the MacBook offers a fundamentally different, often more integrated and capable, computing environment.
Here are some key points explaining this potential shift:
1. "The Multitasking Paradox: Powerful but Different"
"iPadOS:" Multitasking is excellent with Slide Over, Split View, and the App Exposé gestures. However, it's fundamentally different from the traditional Mac windowing system. You're often layering apps, which can be efficient but sometimes less intuitive for complex workflows involving many application windows side-by-side.
"MacBook:" Offers a mature, flexible windowing system with true overlapping windows, full-screen modes, Spaces (virtual desktops), and powerful keyboard shortcuts for window management. This is deeply ingrained for many users who rely on complex visual arrangements of multiple applications simultaneously (e.g., design, development, research).
2. "Keyboard and Mouse/Trackpad Integration: The Defining Difference"
"iPadOS:" The on-screen keyboard is usable but can be cumbersome for long typing sessions. The Apple Pencil offers great precision for drawing and note-taking but doesn't replace the versatility of a physical keyboard for text input or the nuanced control of a trackpad for navigation and complex cursor manipulation
