What are you missing? If only a few tasks you could just VNC to a “desktop OS” for these tasks. I would assume most things that requires such OS requires an internet connection anyway.

I still primary use a laptop, but that is because I like the form of it. So I have no actual experience trying to survive with only iOS.

There are many places in the world where the availability of the internet is so spotty and so poor, that trying to use VNC to get work done would not be possible.

If I have to VNC into a real machine then the iPad has failed. I'd rather just spend a few lbs of weight budget and bring a real laptop.

The only way to make VNC worse is to have to do it on a $1000 locked down tablet.
