You would get a better price/performance out of almost literally any new hardware in it's price range. There are sub-$1000 Nvidia laptops that would run circles around it purely for backend purposes. It really does not make sense to pay for a screen and form factor you won't use though. You could make a $500 headless inferencing server with a few used 3060s and buy a used iPad Pro with the savings.
