As someone who has a maxed out MacBook Pro M1 Max and an iPad Pro. I am very pleased with the M1 Max Macbook Pro. Thing is disgusting. Fastest computer I've ever had. My laptop was 12 years old and this thing processes everything very quick. I guess it depends on what you want to do as well. If for streaming you mean video on hulu, Netflix etc, the ipad Pro is all you need. But if you are wanting to do other higher processing, a max macbook is the way to go. Still so much you can't do on an ipad.
