I've actually been giving this a bit of thought. Not because I think I could/would want to replace my Macs with an iPad but because my old 11" iPad broke and I was debating whether to replace it. I also found myself on a month-long trip hauling around the old MacBook Pro I use for travel and it weighs a fair bit and I didn't use it that much. I did have an 11" Chromebook but it's way out of support and there's nothing on the market that would be my ideal replacement. So I'll probably end up with an iPad Air for travel going forward. It's fine for any writing or work along those lines I would do--don't really do any programming or heavy duty picture editing/cataloging on the road. The external keyboard on the current iPads actually let you use the combined system in your lap which was one of my past complaints. So not a general replacement for me but I think it's probably a better compromise for me traveling than a laptop that otherwise duplicated functionality of the Apple Silicon MacBook Pro I'd be using when I wasn't traveling.
