M1-powered iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) ends up slightly behind M1-powered MacBook Air in AnTuTu

12 May 2021
Both devices only have passive cooling for the M1 chipset, but the laptop managed to keep clock speeds slightly higher.

            Apple is just trying to lock their products down even more with every part being Soldered Down which means, if it breaks! Their recommendation would be to BUY a NEW ONE!. Not to mention everything tied down with T1 chip so even a single chip change would make the product break. Heck maybe even just a keyboard swap will break it.

                    One can actually do something productive instead of just using it for half baked web browsing and watching movies (duh!! My bad even content consumption is bad because of that awkward ratio of IPad pro)

                              Well, kinda expected because a laptop ofc it's going to feed its hardware more power than an iPad would

                                Sure, cause the iPad pro 12 inch with the same specs is much much cheaper, right?
                                Don't be ridiculous please
