Would a iPad Pro 13 inch replace your Mac?

Think about it... The more mobile we become everyday, would you consider using only an iPad Pro given the size and leaving the Mac in a drawer... Completely switching to tablet base?

A 13" iPad could have a desktop stand and when you want to... set it on the stand for desktop use... with a keyboard and mouse - both bluetooth... and you'd have the best of both worlds. And just think what it could be if it were a phone too... :p

Don't have a Mac, yet, still with PC and my iPad now already replaces a lot of what I would do on the PC. Even though I think 13 inch would be harder for portability, I think it could come in a close second to a Mac.

At this time, a 13 inch iPad, or any iPad for that matter, cannot replace my MacBook. I still need it for certain things.

Probably not, but I'm old fashioned. I like having 4 different devices for 4 different uses. And 2 operating systems for 2 different purposes.

I use a bluetooth keyboard on my iPad and to be honest, it's just not the same as having the functionality of a laptop with me. I'd rather splash out on a new Macbook, preferably the rumoured Retina Macbook Air i've heard whisperings about on the intermawebz, or the current Macbook Pro Retina if the aforementioned Retina Air never comes to pass.
