The laptop computer is a good solution for most people.
However the iPad is not powerful enough to run the new full sized applications. Things like Photoshop, Quark, etc., take a huge amount of cpu power which makes them fundamentally unsuitable for ipad-like devices.
At the moment!
My Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (i7 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is the closest hybrid to an laptop/tablet. It has a pen which is very good and accurate. The biggest problem is its cost which is £1500.
No cheap or free lunches these days.
I am managing perfectly well to compile movies and edit photos on a 12" iPad Pro at half that price. In saying that, it's important to accept that I probably wouldn't be able to compile a 1hour epic...but that isn't required. Most people would fall asleep during a long film of our outings.
We produce mini movies ...5-10min max..subsets of our adventures. These don't need super duper CPUs.
And despite being a long time Photoshop officianado ....the occasions when I NEED that amount of manipulation capability are really few and far between.
At the end of the day, it's down to how the final files will be viewed and used. Right now iPad editing is more than adequate....but I've still got the raws if another situation recommends pro editing.
