It all depends on your usage. Although Apple claims that iPads are meant to do everything, from casual usage to productivity, you'll still need a laptop or desktop for heavy-duty work and gaming. There are some use cases, such as writing, web browsing, and even basic editing, that you can perform with an iPad, but complex workplace scenarios do not translate well onto an iPad. Gaming laptops and desktops are much better equipped and convenient for full-fledged gaming.
