MacBook or IPad ?

My IMac is dying.
I’m starting a new job & need something that I can do a lot of organisational rubbish on - I’m a Nanny so need to be absolutely on spreadsheet for clubs, Birthdays, Birthday parties as well as other household tasks.
Browse on-line shopping
Very occasional face time.
Went to Curry’s today but kinda frazzled as to what’s the best option.
I’m leaning towards an IPad as it seems so mobile - not the huge one but the 11” one.
Quality of photos etc not so important as I have IPhone

I have both, but I use the iPad every day. The MacBook is useful for documents, files article writing.
I use it more as a work tool.
The iPad is portable and more used for leisure activities.

iPad with a keyboard. I hardly ever use my Mac now

I bought a MacBook Air two years ago as it was cheaper than a iPad Pro plus keyboard and I've been really happy with it. So lightweight for travel and don't worry about it cracking.

My ancient iPad is still fine and I use excel and word on both no problem.

I would go with macbook, more versatile, faster and less annoying than ipad

MacBook. Far sturdier and utilitarian.

MacBook definitely. The Air is as portable as an iPad but more versatile. I have a Pro but still carry it around with me everywhere so both doable.
