“This is not intended to be a laptop replacement like the larger, more powerful 13-inch iPad Air or iPad Pro that I reviewed earlier this year. Rather, this is primarily a laptop replacement for work. It’s a fun second device to use in place of your MacBook Pro or iPhone when you’re done.
Apple has equipped this tablet with the A17 Pro chip, which is almost the same as the one used in the iPhone 15 Pro. However, MobileSyrup says it is “barely” running triple-A games.
The new chip can easily run most iPad games and intensive apps, but it has a hard time playing AAA games such as: Assassin’s Creed Mirage and resident evil 4.
