I should mention that my frustration only came out of trying to switch my parents over from an old 32-bit Windows laptop to the iPad. They're already iPhone users and most of their time is either spent in a web browser or in document processing. So I figured that an iPad Pro with a magic keyboard would be perfect for them.

Even still, the level of finesse they have with Excel and productivity software on a desktop OS was just not replicable on the iPad. It pained me to see my Dad work on his spreadsheets on the old laptop again.

The silver lining to this is at least the iPad is good for watching videos and pretty decent at web browsing. They still use the device casually.
