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.

An ipad is just as fast as a PC for pretty much any desktop task. Apple
Silicon blows intel out of the water for efficiency and anything below 13th
gen intel in raw power.
