Despite Apple's attempts to claim otherwise, the iPad is not and cannot be a computer replacement for many reasons. The main one being that fat fingers are a hopelessly inaccurate input device. The Pencil or similar stylus (that Steve Jobs abhored when the iPad first launched) make is a bit better, but your hands are still in the way of the display so it is still nowhere near as good as a mouse, trackpad, or separate graphics tablet.

 All what you said is true, but some of what you said can be overcome by
mirroring the iPad over onto the Windows computer using a tool such as

 When casting that iPad to the PC's monitor, you have full use of the
keyboard, mouse and clipboard of the PC (and any attached pencils).

If your PC really needs that ipad, it must be a pretty lame computer. I would agree that an ipad might help, if your PC is from 1991, sporting an intel 386 with a single 5-1/4" floppy.
