An iPad is all the computer you might ever need!

(Maybe)

No it isn't and it's not a computer by popular definition since it
lacks proper input devices and reasonable sized display.

an ipad absolutely is a computer by popular definition and for many
people, is ideal for their needs.

Not if they want to edit photographs properly.

You must have missed these:

Regardless of what you think it might be, the iPad, especially the iPad Pro
is a computer.

Is an abacus also a computer?
How about the comptometer?

Actually, both are calculators. To turn them into computers their calculating
function should be programable, and automatic. Neither one has the ability to
do that, so they remain calculators, not computers.


Both are programmable, but not necessarily by the user. If they were not
programmable, they would not calculate.
