A WIRED writer tested using only an iPad Pro for a week, leveraging iPadOS 26's new features. Initial setup included connecting an external monitor, keyboard, trackpad, and speakers. While some app limitations were encountered (lack of BBEdit, Transmit, and Scrivener's full functionality), the improved iPadOS 26 multitasking with its windowing system and shortcuts was praised. The writer found the new system a revelation, though some features, like the auto-hiding menu bar, were criticized.
