I don&#x27;t really think that&#x27;s a no brainer. They&#x27;re completely different products. I&#x27;d much rather watch a movie on netflix on an IPad Pro than deal with the very poor resolution of a Mac Book Air. Also an IPad is a touch interface, Mac Book Air is OS X. As the OP said, these can be great devices for people not in tech that just need to type a few notes or emails. There&#x27;s very little to break in an IPad as everything is pretty much preconfigured.
