Can this device hold up to my needs this 2025?

I’ve been using the iPad Pro M1 as my primary computer for several months now. Before this, I had an iPad 10th Gen, but I received a “free upgrade” as a hand-me-down from my brother’s company. Although it’s a two-year-old device from its original owner, I wanted to give it a try. So, is it still relevant in 2025?

TLDR: I absolutely love it! The M-series iPads, especially Stage Manager, perfectly meet my needs. This is the one feature I wished my iPad (2022) had, and now it’s finally here.

The M1 iPad was released in 2021, but it still holds up well. Some people argue that the new M4 iPad Pros aren’t worth it because they’re limited by iPad OS. However, many users are happy and satisfied with the M4 iPads as of now. Which implies that even the M1 iPad Pros are still relevant today.

After using the iPad Pro 2021 (M1) for a few months, I’m curious to know how it holds up in 2025. Is it still a worthwhile purchase?
