I had to search for the specs. Even then I couldn’t find things like CPU clock speed, or comparing the chip in that iPad to something out today.

The article gets 5/10, very basic search gets 6/10.

Data from Tom’s Guide Geek bench comparison article and Laptop Magazine, updated November 5, 2018, using latest model competitor’s equipment: I.e. a Microsoft Surface Pro 6 with a Core i5 CPU ($997) and even the Core i7 version of the Dell XPS 13 ($1130), and an Apple MacBook Pro 13" with Intel i5 ($1299), so contrary to your snide hints, this is comparing current laptops as of today in similar price ranges from Microsoft, Dell, and Apple.

Thanks for the additional and useful information, but what part of " entry-level laptops" can you not comprehend?

Using Geekbench benchmarks, lol.

Again, can this maxi-pad run Skyrim (8 year old game) in 4k at 60fps while running mods that require extensions (A lot of RAM too) which of course needs open source?

Can this pad even run Final Cut Pro (For the Apple MacBook fan boys). What are the 3d benchmarks? What is the rendering quality, not just the speed, I would rather have high quality rendering and not disingenuous "tricks" that render 1080p to 1080p in a few seconds, lol.

Does this pad run a FULL version of Photoshop with PLUGINS and Lightroom with PLUGINS/Presets?

Does the hard drive have at least 3 terabytes? Plenty more, article titles, especially the one you link to, are just as bas as democrats saying socialism blows away the free market.

Maxi-pad is ok, however will never replace the options AND power (Which the full spectrum of benchmarks are obviously missing) of desktops and laptops (Storage space kills everything by default) priced the same.
